Clemson Choirs in Carnegie Hall


Check out this article about our tigers' trip to New York City in April 2025 to perform in Carnegie Hall!

Mission Statement


Our mission is to provide the highest quality artistic experience through ensemble and solo singing to all Clemson students. This includes performing diverse and inclusive repertoire, commissioning new works, and collaborating with other art forms. Finally, our outreach programs aim to enrich the music education of students throughout the region.

Vocal Arts Series


The Clemson Vocal Arts Series is a showcase of our choral ensembles, voice majors, and talent from within our choirs. The goal with this online music series is to connect with our community and create another avenue for everyone to have access to music.

Support Clemson Choirs


The choral program is growing each year, now with six credit-earning ensembles and more than 200 students singing each week! In the past five years, we have established the Clemson Cantorei chamber ensemble, presented an annual Sounds of the Season holiday concert, developed outreach programs in our public schools, and created the Vocal Arts Series on YouTube, which brings quality music right to your home.

Through a donation to our Dr. Anthony Bernarducci Annual Choral Fund, you can make a difference in our students’ experience. Future projects you may consider supporting are commissioning a new work, funding domestic and international travel, establishing student scholarships, sponsoring a large masterwork with orchestra, helping students purchase concert attire, and more!
