The University of Texas Chamber Singers has been one of the leading North American collegiate choral ensembles for nearly half a century. Under the direction of James Morrow, this highly select ensemble of mixed voices was organized in 1957 by Dr. Morris J. Beachy. Since that time they have traveled extensively throughout the United States and much of Europe, the Middle East, and South America. Recent performances include Terry Riley’s Sun Rings with the Kronos Quartet, Delius’s Appalachia with conductor Gunther Schuller, the North American première and first complete recording of Brazilian composer José Maurício Nunes Garcia’s Missa de Nossa Senhora da Conceição, and concerts for the American Choral Directors Association National Convention in Los Angeles. Their most recent concert tour was to Brazil where they performed in historic venues in São Paolo and Rio de Janeiro.
