Men's & Women's Choruses
UM Men's Chorus
The Men's Chorus performs joint fall and spring showcases with the UM Women's Chorus at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center. In 2007, the Men's Chorus joined with other UM choirs in a performance of the Brahms Alto Rhapsody, and sang in Shastokovich's Symphony No. 13 ("Babi Yar"), with acclaimed Russian poet Yevgeny Yevtuschenko as narrator.
The Chorus was honored to participate in the 2005 Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy at Strathmore. The ensemble is invited regularly to sing at Saint Matthew's Cathedral in Washington DC, and has performed on tour at Williamsburg, Virginia.
UM Women's Chorus
The Women's Chorus performs frequently throughout the semester, on tour and on campus, often collaborating with the Men's Chorus. The Women's Chorus also performs at various venues in the Washington DC/Baltimore metropolitan area, such as Saint Matthew's Cathedral. In March 2007 the ensemble was invited to participate in an event sponsored by the Federal Triangle Partnership in honor of Women's History Month.
Since 2005 the ensemble has annually presented the Celebration of Women's Voices at the University of Maryland Memorial Chapel, a joint venture with the President's Commission on Women's Issues. This event often features female composers and includes the participation of advanced high school, college, and community women's choirs.
