About UA Chamber Choir

Under the direction of Dr. Marie Bucoy-Calavan, The University of Akron Chamber Choir is the premier auditioned choir at The University of Akron.
 
Consisting of a smaller select group of musicians typically numbering between 24 and 32, this ensemble focuses on more technically difficult music from all eras and styles.
 
As the flagship choral ensemble for The University of Akron, the group has performed at Severance Hall, the Knight Center, the historic First Congregational Church, Guzzetta Recital Hall, E.J. Thomas Performing Arts Hall, and multiple other venues around campus and the city of Akron.
 
The Chamber Choir is the touring choral ensemble, performing in major cities throughout the region. Auditions for new members are held at the beginning of each year, and membership in the ensemble is a full-year commitment. Undergraduate members of the Chamber Choir must also be members of Concert Choir under the discretion of the conductor.
