The Temple University Choirs

The Temple University Choirs have enjoyed a rich tradition of excellence under the batons of some of Philadelphia's most prominent conductors. The six ensembles (Concert Choir, University Singers, Women's Chorus, University Chorale, Singing Owls, Graduate Conductors Chorus) comprise nearly 200 students each year, and have enjoyed regional and national acclaim both individually and collectively. Between the 1940s and 1980s the combined choirs performed annually with the Philadelphia Orchestra, and since 2002 have collaborated annually with the Temple University Orchestra. Current director of choral activities Paul Rardin joined the Temple faculty in 2011.
