Under the direction of Carol Aspling, the Women’s Chorus is a diverse group of talented treble singers hailing from a number of different majors and departments on campus. Basic and advanced singing techniques are included in rehearsals, as well as musicianship and sight singing training. This gender neutral choir performs a wide variety of repertoire representing all historical periods and styles. Performance opportunities include singing in the beautiful Meng Concert Hall, and the choir also appears in the Holiday spectacular, “Deck the Hall.”

The Cal State Fullerton Titan Men’s Chorus sings and performs a variety of choral music (both accompanied and a cappella) in the traditional male tenor and bass ranges. Membership in the choir is available to any student, any major, and any gender. The choir is made up of both music majors and non-music majors, and many people choose to sing with the choir over multiple semesters because it is fun, and they often make new and lasting friendships. Under the directorship of Dr. Christopher Peterson, Titan Men’s Chorus presents at least four annual concerts on campus in CSUF’s beautiful, world-class performance auditorium, the 800-seat Meng Concert Hall. The choir also collaborates with the other choirs in the School of Music for special events and concerts.

You do not need to pass a vocal audition to be a member of Titan Men’s Chorus. Because it is a class lead by a full-time faculty member of the School of Music, basic and advanced singing techniques will be included in rehearsals, as well as musicianship and sight singing instruction.

The class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:30 pm to 3:50 pm on campus, and students earn one fine arts credit for the class per semester. The Class listing is MUS 406M.
