The Chamber Singers in Mexico (January 2014)
Choral Study
Ensemble singing has always been an important part of traditional campus life at Haverford and Bryn Mawr. The bi-college community is home to an unusually large variety of singing groups embracing a wide range of musical styles. The Chamber Singers and Chorale are directed by Nathan Zullinger. There are also a number of independent ensembles directed by students and members of the community.
Chamber Singers
A mixed choir of 30 voices who perform challenging repertoire ranging from the Renaissance to the present day in a variety of languages and styles.
Rehearsals for Chamber Singers are Monday and Tuesday afternoons in MacCrate Hall (Haverford) from 4:30-5:50 and Thursday afternoons from 4:20-5:40 in the Music Room at Goodhart Hall (Bryn Mawr). Visitors are always welcome at rehearsals!

Chorale
The Chorale
The Chorale is a Wednesday night institution in bi-college life. An oratorio choir of 120-150 singers, the Chorale performs a major work with orchestra each semester under the direction of Nathan Zullinger.
Members include bi-college students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends from the surrounding community. The orchestra is usually made up of advanced bi-college musicians supplemented by music students from Curtis and Temple. Soloists have included students who are members of Chorale, Chamber Singers and guest artists.
