The
University Singers, founded in 1948 by Dr.
Wiley Housewright, is the premier undergraduate auditioned
choir at Florida State University. The choir is composed
of undergraduate students including those majoring in
music and the other degree programs offered by the many
academic units making up The Florida State University.
During its rich history, University Singers has performed
with such remarkable musicians as Kristof Penderecki
(2004), Bobby McFerrin (2004), Sir David Willcocks (2002),
Aaron Copland, Norman Dello Joio, Billy Taylor, and
the esteemed Atlanta Symphony Conductor Robert Shaw,
who continued to conduct concerts with the University
Singers into his eighties. Additionally, University
Singers has frequently performed at national and regional
conventions of the Music Educators National Conference
and the American Choral Directors Association, including
their 2007 performance at the national convention of
ACDA in Miami. During the summer of 2007, members of
University Singers will be performing for the National
Association of Choral Directors of China in Beijing.
Throughout
the over fifty-eight year history, several distinguished
conductors have led the University Singers, including
Walter James, Joseph Flummerfelt, Clayton Krehbiel and
André Thomas. Today, the traditions established
by these outstanding conductors have been passed to
the current conductor, Kevin
Fenton.
