Chamber Choir

The Bowdoin Chamber Choir is an ensemble where students take their talents to audiences all over the world. (Music 2741/2742)

Bowdoin’s Chamber Choir is a vocal ensemble which delves into a wide variety of music from different genres and time periods. Singers in Chamber Choir will work on developing healthy singing practices within the context of ensemble singing. The ensemble aims to be a place where we sing together joyfully while also stretching ourselves as musicians and artists.
