About the Chamber Singers

The 2007-2008 Chamber Singers, with conductor Kimberly Dunn Adams.

The Mount Holyoke College Chamber Singers is a highly select chamber choir of 12-16 voices drawn from Glee Club and Chorale. The Chamber Singers meet twice weekly (Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 4:15-5:15 pm). Members of Chamber Singers usually possess excellent music reading skills, and enjoy the greater independence of being one of just a few voices on a part. The group specializes in challenging repertory from the 20th and 21st Centuries, but regularly performs works from varied musical periods and genres. The choir's current repertoire includes works by Poulenc, Britten, Knut Nystedt, Peter Schickele, Hugo Distler, John Tavener, Lili Boulenger, Victoria, Bach, and Mount Holyoke composer Allen Bonde. While the students in the Chamber Singers are talented and accomplished musicians, they major in a broad range of academic subjects including music, literature, biology, religion, and film studies. The ensemble is directed by Kimberly Dunn Adams.
