The Missouri Southern Chamber Singers is a mixed-ensemble of 26-30 upperclassmen singers comprised mostly of music majors and minors; although talented non-music majors have been invited to sing based upon their level of skill and ability. The focus of this choir is to explore a variety of music spanning all historical periods, choral genres, and cultural perspectives, with an emphasis on unaccompanied literature. In addition to touring around the Joplin area, this ensemble represents Missouri Southern, and the Choral/Vocal division of the MSSU Department of Music, as the identified choir for recruiting locally, regionally, and nationally, while also traveling internationally every third year to perform in historic churches, concert halls, and in adjudicated music festivals. |
