The Eastman Women's Chorus is a select ensemble made up of Eastman music majors and women in other majors throughout the University. The ensemble is dedicated to the performance of beautiful and compelling repertoire created with real women's voices in mind, including music from the Venetian Ospedali, the German Frauenchor, and contemporary female composers. Recent performances have included Nicolai Porpora's Magnificat, Gabriel Fauré's Messe Basse, and Roxanna Panufnik's Olivia. The Women's Chorus enjoys collaborating with other women's organizations throughout the Rochester community in its annual 'By Women, For Women, Benefiting Women' concert.
The Eastman Repertory Singers is a mixed 60-voice chorus of Eastman students presenting frequent performances under the direction of graduate students in conducting, in styles ranging from Renaissance madrigals and motets to premieres of contemporary choral works. Recent concerts have included the Haydn Lord Nelson Mass, the Duruflé Requiem, and works of Rachmaninoff, Mozart and Bach. This chorus includes students in vocal performance, conducting, piano, organ, composition, and music education.
