major symphony orchestras, including
The Philadelphia Orchestra, Chicago
Symphony, New York Philharmonic
and the National Symphony Orchestra.
Dr. Eric Conway is the director of the
Morgan State University Choir and
chairperson of the Fine Arts Department. During his tenure, Dr. Conway
has led the choir to many acclaimed
performances, including a special performance at the service honoring Rosa
Parks, the first woman to lie in honor
at our nation’s Capital Rotunda. In July
2006, the choir traveled to Prague for
two concerts with maestro Paul Freeman and the Czech National Symphony
Orchestra. In 2008, MSUC performed

Marin Alsop and the BSO. Since 2008,
the choir has performed all over the world,
including Russia, South Africa, Colombia,
China, Brazil, Jamaica, Qatar, Australia
and Argentina.
MSUC has shared its musical gifts
on many grand stages all over the
world — with numerous dignitaries and
