Whitman College Chorale and Chamber Singers
About
The Whitman College Chorale was founded over 100 years ago. It has
a rich tradition of performing masterworks from the 18th, 19th and 20th
centuries. This chorus of 100 singers also sponsors an annual Commissioning
Project, by which major American composers are invited to write new
works especially for the Chorale. The Whitman Chorale performs regularly
with area symphony orchestras. Recent performances include Mendelssohn’s
Elijah, Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms, Mozart’s
Requiem and the world premiere of John David Earnest’s Second
Symphony.
The Whitman Chamber Singers is a select chorus of 24 singers, taken
from the membership of the Chorale. The Chamber Singers are recognized
throughout the Northwest for the excellence of their performances of
music from the Renaissance to the present day. They have been featured
in performances at Division Conventions of the American Choral Directors
Association in 1992 and 1996. The Chamber Singers tours every other
year. Recent tours have included Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and
Honolulu.
Dr. Robert Bode
, Director of Chorale/Vocal
Studies at Whitman, conducts both the Chorale and the Chamber Singers.
