The UMass Lowell Choral Ensembles have a long tradition of excellence and they provide rewarding music-making experiences for singers of all levels. From our non-auditioned community choir The Common Voice to the highly select UMass Lowell Chamber Singers, the choirs at UMass Lowell engage singers in diverse repertoire and provide wonderful opportunities for musical growth and expression. 

Regardless of your level of experience or ability as a singer, there is a UML Choir that will provide a fun and rewarding experience for you. If you are a non-music major or a Greater Lowell community member that wants a fun musical outlet without a huge time commitment, come sing in The Common Voice on Monday evenings! If you are a passionate choral singer that wants to challenge yourself to grow as a vocalist, come audition for University Choir or Chamber Singers!

In addition to the larger choral ensembles, the Opera Workshop provides opportunities for singers to study and perform solo and small group repertoire from the opera and musical theatre genres. Similarly, the Early Music Ensemble performs vocal and instrumental works specifically from the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque Eras with special focus on historical authenticity and accuracy.

Additionally, the UMass Lowell Choirs and the local non-profit Allies in Music Education collaborate to offer The Common Voice Summer Chorus Camp, a day camp for students in grades 9-12.
