The
Birmingham-First Chamber Choir is a unique collection of
music students, professional musicians, and amateur
choristers. The students bring fresh energy and vitality,
the professionals bring valuable experience and expertise,
and the amateurs bring a contagious love of singing. Now in
its sixth season, the Birmingham-First Chamber Choir is
directed by its founding artistic director, Tom Trenney. The
ensemble has performed in concert throughout Michigan and
Ohio, debuting with the American Choral Directors
Association in 2006. The group has sung with such esteemed
conductors as Anton Armstrong, David Davidson, Joseph Flummerfelt, Alice Parker, and William Weinert. Whether
singing engaging and colorful performances of the great
choral/orchestral works of Johann Sebastian Bach or eclectic
and creative programs of varied styles of a cappella music,
the Birmingham-First Chamber Choir is committed to offering
its members a healthy, supportive community in which to
share music making at a very high level. The choir seeks to
offer its audiences compelling, communicative performances
that inspire and enable a greater love of the choral art.
The Birmingham-First Chamber Choir is sponsored by Many
Voices…One Song which offers many performance and
enrichment opportunities to share music and build community.
