They were joined by several other community college choirs from the central valley, with a special premier performed by Dr. Anna Hamre and the CSUF Choirs. Chamber Singers received adjudication from world renowned choral artist Dr. Rodney Eichenberger, recently retired John Carter, and local distinguished choral director Jim Foxx. They stayed overnight in Fresno and returned on Friday, via California State University Stanislaus. While on campus at CSUStanislaus, they sang in clinic with Dr. Daniel Afonso, Director of Choral Activities. This was a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our singers. They shared their music with a packed house on Thursday evening, and enjoyed the wonderful musical experience on Friday with Dr. Afonso. The trip also provided an excellent opportunity to visit two CSU campuses and to work directly with the choral leaders at those schools. The Chamber Singers choral exchange was partially funded by the CRC Foundation, and partially funded by the CVPA area. Thanks to both of these organizations for their support of choral music.
