The Buffalo State Chamber Choir is an auditioned vocal ensemble for singers to perform a wide variety of challenging choral repertoire at the highest artistic level. They have made three concert tours to Europe, including a tour to Poland and the Czech Republic where they joined the Czech Philharmonic Chorus and Orchestra in a spectacular performance of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana.
The Chamber Choir performs choral music from the Medieval Ages and Renaissance (often in original notation) to contemporary art music, pop, and jazz. They are not only a performing ensemble, but also a scholarly one—given assignments ranging from score and historical background preparation of their music to essays on the particular aesthetics of the composers whose music they are performing. The Chamber Choir is always in demand for many ceremonial and community events on and off campus, and regularly performs for naturalization ceremonies, the Honor's Convocation, the annual Day of Remembrance, and Commencement.
