Chamber Choir

Chamber Choir

Founded in 1998, the Georgia Tech Chamber Choir is an auditioned SATB ensemble comprised of talented vocalists from across campus. Its members are primarily all-state-level singers with extensive backgrounds in choral singing. The ensemble tours regularly throughout the U.S. and abroad. Rehearsals are held in the West Village Academic Center on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:00 to 6:15 PM.

Repertoire varies from semester to semester, and includes large and small works in the standard repertoire (both unaccompanied and with instruments) modern music, music of the Global South, and experimental music with extended technique. Most recently, the Chamber Choir performed Carmina Burana by Carl Orff, as well as various settings of Magnificat by Palestrina, Bach, Bruckner, Pärt, and Górecki. The Chamber Choir was recently featured with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in a production of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and as the backup choir for the Eagles on their 2020 Hotel California tour. They will be performing American DREAMers by Melissa Dunphy in their Fall 2025 concert.
