Looking for university male choirs with huge, operatic voices
Hi everyone! I'm a graduate student and amateur choral singer from Japan, and I'm a huge fan of TTBB music.
In the Japanese amateur and collegiate male choral scene, a deep, operatic tone has traditionally been preferred, which is a style I personally love.(Although the situation has been changing recently.) Since classical music originated in Europe, I started exploring European and American male choirs. However, most of the videos I found feature a slick, pop- or barbershop-adjacent vocal style. While I really appreciate that technique, it made me wonder: are there any amateur and university male choirs in North America or Europe that cultivate a traditional, operatic sound?
I know there are plenty of professional ensembles with that voice type, but I haven't had much luck finding amateur or student groups. I'm leaving a link to a video of a Japanese university choir below for reference. If you know of any similar amateur or student choirs, I'd love it if you could share some links.
