The Anderson University Chamber Singers is a smaller choir whose members are selected for their superior musical skills.  The ensemble has been invited to perform at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC, and the South Carolina Music Educators’ Association convention.  It has also served as a demonstration choir for the South Carolina American Choral Directors’ Association convention.

In conjunction with the AU Choir, the group presents a Choral Excursions concert each fall and a Masterworks concert each spring.  The Choral Excursions series features music and art of diverse cultures, times, and places.  The Masterworks series offers great choral works with orchestra.  Recent performances include Haydn’s Heiligmesse, Durufle’s Requiem, and Handel’s Messiah.

The Chamber Singers appear in AU’s annual Christmas First Night celebration and the AU President’s Gala, which showcases the university’s performing groups in an entertaining variety show.  The AU Choir and Chamber Singers also provide music for traditional worship services in two to three churches each semester.

Scholarships are available for selected students.  For more information about the Anderson University Chamber Singers or to request an appearance, contact Dr. Richard Williamson at (864) 231-2122 or rwilliamson@andersonuniversity.edu.
