About The Program
Join us for the first choral concert of the 2026–27 academic year, featuring the CWRU Concert Choir under the direction of Dr. Christopher Clark and the University Chorale, led by CWRU alumnus Sam Webber in his debut season as director.
Celebrate an evening of choral music showcasing the talents of CWRU students and the vibrant musical community they represent.
The concert also highlights the department’s commitment to musical collaboration and community engagement. Later this month, the Concert Choir will join students from Northwest High School in Massillon, Ohio, for a special performance as part of the school's Living Composers series, building on a partnership that includes joint rehearsals and educational outreach.
