UAB CONCERT CHOIR
The Concert Choir is the premiere choral ensemble at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. The choir has developed an outstanding reputation across the United States and Europe in a short amount of time. Most recent activities include a premiere recording of K. Lee Scott’s Gloria for MorningStar Publications, the ACDA Collegiate Choral Festival, and premiere performances in New Orleans, La. Past performances include the 2008 NCCO Conference in Cincinnati, OH., the AMEA Winter Conference in 2008, and the 2006 Southern Division Convention of ACDA. The choir has also performed in international choral competitions, including the Fleischman International Trophy Competition in Cork, Ireland and the 34th annual Florlilege Vocal de Tours in Tours, France.
Brian Kittredge joined the University of Alabama at Birmingham faculty in 2010 as Director of Choral Activities, where he conducts the University Concert Choir, Chamber Singers, University Chorus, and teaches courses in conducting and music education. Most recently, the UAB choirs under his direction have been selected as the recording choir for the 2010 MorningStar Publication series, featuring premiere performances of K. Lee Scott’s Gloria and Michael Trotta’s I Shall See, and have also been selected to sing at the 2012 Alabama Music Educators Conference in Montgomery, AL. Since 2010, the choirs have also appeared in various concerts throughout the southeast region, including premiere performances in Mobile, AL, New Orleans, LA, Huntsville, AL, and Atlanta, GA. Prior to his appointment at UAB, Kittredge served on the faculty at Louisiana State University, where he taught courses in choral conducting and conducted the LSU Schola Cantorum, including a collaborative performance of Verdi’s Requiem with the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra and the LSU A Cappella Choir in 2010. Kittredge taught middle and high school at the Louise S. McGehee School in New Orleans, LA, where his choirs appeared in performances at state, regional, and international festivals. He is an active clinician and guest conductor and has appeared at choral festivals in Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi, and New York. He is currently serving as the Youth and Student Activities Coordinator for the Alabama Chapter of the American Choral Directors Association, and serves on the artistic faculty at the New York State Summer School of the Arts, where his choirs have appeared in several concerts at the Chautauqua Institute and SUNY Fredonia.
