University Singers is a mixed choir of students representing a wide range of majors within the Boyer College and across the University. The choir performs frequently on and off campus, and participates in the annual combined-choir and orchestra concerts at the Kimmel Cultural Campus. The University Singers took part in the 1967 Grammy-winning performance of Carl Orff's Catulli Carmina with The Philadelphia Orchestra.

The University Singers have served regularly as musical ambassadors to the greater Philadelphia community, performing in recent years at the Historic St. George's Church, Rutgers University-Camden, and other venues. The Singers perform a diverse sampling of repertoire from many different times and traditions. Founded in the 1960s and enjoying decades worth of loyal alumni, the ensemble has sung under the expert musical leadership of Gail Poch, Tram Sparks, and Jeffrey Cornelius.

The University Chorale is a choir of tenor-bass voices representing a wide range of majors within the Boyer College and across the University. The Chorale, originally titled Music Education Chorus, formed as a result of the merger of the Men's Glee Club and Women's Glee Club in the 1960s. The ensemble was conducted for many years by Temple Professor Emerita Janet Yamron until her retirement in 2009, and took part in the 1967 Grammy-winning performance of Carl Orff's Catulli Carmina with The Philadelphia Orchestra.

The Chorale performs repertoire from diverse styles, time periods, cultures and perspectives. In recent years special emphasis on contemporary American music, including works by Eugene Rogers, Eric William Barnum, Craig Hella Johnson, Jeffery Ames, Andrea Ramsey and Jacob Narverud.
