The MWSU Renaissance Singers is a select choral ensemble open to anyone on campus. The Renaissance Singers meet in the fall and concentrate on learning the literature and performance practices of the Renaissance and early Baroque periods. It also includes some contemporary settings of Renaissance texts. They have performed annually at the Renaissance Festival in Bonner Springs since its inception in 1980.

In the spring, the Chamber Singers perform an even wider variety of chamber choral music. Often invited to perform for community events, the Chamber Singers participate in the spring choral concert. Many of these ensemble members are active in the community as soloists and choir members of area churches. This group has toured England and seven European countries. These ensembles have distinguished themselves by being invited to perform at the annual conference of the Missouri Music Educators Association.

The members of these ensembles must first be members of the MWSU Concert Chorale.
