(Repertoire ranges in style from Renaissance, Classical, and Jazz, to Multi-Cultural, Musical Theatre, and Contemporary Music.) The Chamber Singers perform on all of the LD Choir concerts (Fall, Winter, Spring), and at Commencement, as well as giving numerous performances throughout the community. In the past, the Chamber Singers have received invitations to perform at PMEA and ACDA All-State Conferences, with the Central PA Symphony, and at the University of Pittsburgh.
