Reformed in 2012 in honor of former faculty and accomplished choral arranger Bernell Hales, the 24-28 member U Chamber Choir maintains the high choral standards he set in his twenty years at the U. The choir covers a wide range of repertoire and styles, especially focusing on those that push choral music into new, exciting arenas.
The U Chamber Choir performs numerous works by conductor Barlow Bradford, an active composer and arranger, as well as private commissions by other renowned composers. The Chamber Choir often collaborates with other ensembles, both from the School of Music and off campus, including Dr. Bradford’s professional choir, the Utah Chamber Artists.
