Temple University Chorale

Dustin Cates, conductor

The University Chorale is a choir of tenor-bass voices representing a wide range of majors within the Boyer College and across the University. The Chorale, originally titled Music Education Chorus, formed as a result of the merger of the Men's Glee Club and Women's Glee Club in the 1960s. The ensemble was conducted for many years by Temple Professor Emerita Janet Yamron until her retirement in 2009, and took part in the 1967 Grammy-winning performance of Carl Orff's Catulli Carmina with The Philadelphia Orchestra.

The Chorale performs repertoire from diverse styles, time periods, cultures and perspectives. In recent years special emphasis on contemporary American music, including works by Eugene Rogers, Eric William Barnum, Craig Hella Johnson, Jeffery Ames, Andrea Ramsey and Jacob Narverud.
