The Rowan University
Dr. Christopher B Thomas, conductor
Rowan University Concert Choir prepares singers for professional conducting, teaching, and singing careers. The choir boasts members consisting primarily of vocal performance, education, and bachelor of arts majors, but also includes select non-music majors who possess superior musical skills. Concert Choir rehearses four times per week, Monday through Thursday. The focus of this ensemble centers on artistic music making where vocal technique and sensitivity to rhetoric combine in strong community. The group is very active and passionate as ambassadors for choral music throughout the region and tours internationally every other year.

The Rowan Women's Chorus is an ensemble focused on treble choir literature, healthy vocal production, music reading, and a cohesive, friendly learning environment. The choir rehearses twice a week (TR 2-3:15) and is a non-auditioned group open to students, faculty and staff. The group performs each season in the beautiful Pfleeger Concert Hall.
