Several members of the group are blogging about the experience. Read their reports and impressions.
Founded in 1957, the Chamber Singers has garnered a strong regional, national and international reputation. Gerard Floriano '84, professor and chair of Geneseo's Department of Music, has directed the Chamber Singers since 1998 and himself is a former Chamber Singer. In his tenure, Floriano has continued the choir's exemplary musical and artistic qualities, even as he further extends its repertoire to include more contemporary music and works with full orchestra or other instrumental accompaniment. He earned his bachelor's degree at Geneseo and a doctorate at the Eastman School of Music.
