| The Cleveland Philharmonic Chamber Ensemble is a select group of 20 musicians from the parent Cleveland Philharmonic Orchestra, a full symphony orchestra founded in 1938. Dr. F. Karl Grossman of Western Reserve University was the Orchestra’s first conductor; the current Music Director, Victor H. Liva, began in 2007, as the orchestra celebrated its 70th concert season. The Philharmonic has presented outstanding Cleveland area musicians, as well as artists of international stature, in its roster of soloists. Annually, since 1973, the Philharmonic has sponsored the Frieda Schumacher Young Artist Competition, a statewide competition open to high school age musicians who audition for a cash award and the opportunity of performing a full length concerto with the Orchestra. |

In addition to its campus concerts, the Chorale tours each spring, and is the featured performing ensemble in the university’s annual Yuletide Feaste. A majority of members are music majors in the Hugh A. Glauser School of Music. The KSU Men’s and Women’s Choruses include students from across the campus who have a desire to achieve excellence in choral performance. Both choruses tour regularly, and the Men’s Chorus has appeared at the OMEA Professional Conference. |
