Concert by the Marshall University Chamber Choir, Friday, March 15 at 8:30 pm

The Marshall University Chamber Choir (Huntington, West Virginia, USA) is a choral ensemble whose repertoire covers the music of the last five centuries, from Renaissance madrigals to recently composed works. Although many of the choir’s participants are preparing for a career in music, it is open to students from across campus by audition.
The ensemble makes regular spring concert tours, including a ten-day tour of Spain in 2016 and a ten-day tour of France in 2012, which included a high mass at Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. The ensemble has also performed with the West Virginia and Huntington symphony orchestras.
