Chamber Choir

The Goshen College Chamber Choir is an auditioned group of 20-30 singers, performing secular and sacred repertoire from the Renaissance, Baroque, Classical and Modern periods. Two on-campus and numerous off-campus concerts are presented each season, and the Chamber Choir occasionally joins the Goshen College Orchestra for choral/orchestral works. Annual tours take the choir form coast to coast and to parts of Canada. Membership is open by audition to any student at Goshen College.

Dr. Debra Brubaker is Associate Professor of Music at Goshen College, where she oversees the choral and opera theatre programs, as well as teaching voice and church music courses. Deb is in her fifth year at Goshen College, and has also taught at Bluffton College for ten years.

Deb has an undergraduate degree from Goshen College, her Masters degree from The University of Northern Colorado, and her Doctor of Musical Arts degree from The University of Kansas.
