 Welcome to the website of The Denison Singers, an organization of chamber singers founded at Denison University in 1961 by Distinguished Professor Emeritus Dr. William Osborne, dedicated to excellence in choral performance and continuing the tradition in three generations of vocalists scattered across the United States and about the globe. Since the group's founding, members have presented more than 550 performances in 24 states and on 11 foreign tours that have carried the ensemble across Europe and to South America. Its singers have performed on radio and TV, and have enjoyed collaborations ranging from the Bergonzi String Quartet to Andy Williams and The Chieftains.
This website is intended to be a central clearing house for information about and for Denison Singers alumni, and an introduction for those unfamiliar.
