The University of Redlands School of Music Chapel Singers has been chosen to perform with some of the top schools in the country at two major national conventions, continuing its long-standing tradition and reputation of musical excellence in the United States and across the globe. Under the direction of Dr. Nicholle Andrews, the University of Redlands Chapel Singers will be one of only nine top university choirs to perform at the Sixth National Collegiate Choral Organization National Convention (NCCO), hosted at Portland State University Nov. 12-14, 2015. “It humbles me that everyday that I make music with some of the finest young musicians in the country,” says Andrews, who submitted audition recordings in May. “Being part of an ensemble, such as Chapel Singers, is a life-changing experience. Every rehearsal and performance is a new adventure.” The Chapel Singers NCCO performance, “Music of Living Composers,” includes three works— “Sometimes I Feel Alive” I, II, III by Julian Wachner (b. 1969); “Sun” by R. Murray Schafer (b. 1933) and “A Lover’s Journey” I, II by Libby Larson (b. 1950). “We are very fortunate to have had American composer Libby Larson at the University of Redlands as the composer in residence for our Frederick Loewe Symposium on American Music, and she worked with Chapel Singers on their performance of ‘A Lover’s Journey,’” Andrews says. In Jan. 2016, the Chapel Singers will perform the work of songwriter Richard Sherman during a special engagement with Sherman at the University of Redlands Memorial Chapel. In February, the ensemble will travel to San Jose, California where they will perform for the the top high school choral and instrumental students in the state at the and the California All State Music Educators Conference (CASMEC). University of Redlands Chapel Singers is a 25-voice, auditioned chamber choir ensemble established in 1965. This year’s ensemble includes nine freshmen, six sophomores, two juniors, five seniors, and three graduate students. They are placed in the ensemble according to their vocal ability, as well as their musicianship skills. Dr. Nicholle Andrews is the director for choral studies at the University of Redlands, and under her direction, the choral ensembles at the Redlands have performed nationally and internationally.

A city is often judged by what residents experience every day: the condition of its streets, the reliability of public services, the availability of recreational programs and the ease of obtaining information from local government. Behind those everyday experiences are departments and employees whose work rarely attracts national attention.
