Renata Dworak Berlin is Director of Choral Activities at Davidson College, where she leads the Davidson Chorale, Davidson Chamber Singers, and Choral Arts Society Davidson. She also directs the North Carolina Youth Orchestra Youth Choir and regularly serves as a clinician and adjudicator.

A conductor and music educator, Renata is especially interested in how meaningful, high-quality musical experiences can foster artistry, confidence, curiosity, and a lasting sense of belonging in young singers. She studied music education and choral conducting at DePauw University, the Eastman School of Music, and Boston University, where her doctoral research focused on music teacher preparation.

Before coming to Davidson, Renata taught choral arts at Princeton University. She also spent four years living and working in Ethiopia and Tanzania, where she founded the 80-voice Ethiopian Peace Choir, bringing singers from diverse ethnic and cultural communities together through music.
