The Omaha Chamber Singers has established itself as a choral ensemble of the highest caliber, earning admiration for excellent performances of exceptional choral literature. Organized for a concert in 1999, the immediate success of the project evolved into an ongoing organization of professional singers offering series of performances each season since.

OCS has performed for conventions of the Nebraska Choral Directors Association (3), North Central American Choral Directors Association (3), and the National Association of Pastoral Musicians. OCS has collaborated with numerous arts organizations, presented performances on several university campuses, has served as the clinic choir for conducting workshops led by Dale Warland and Rene Clausen, and performs regularly with the Omaha Symphony.

He has sung in the choruses of the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis and Opera Omaha, was a soloist at the Mostly Mozart Festival in New York City with the Robert Shaw Workshop Choir at Westminster Choir College, and was a chorister and section leader of the acclaimed Robert Shaw Festival Chorus at Carnegie Hall for ten years.

Batter served on the steering committee for the 2006 NC‐ACDA convention, where he was producer and chorusmaster for the collaborative Mozart "Requiem" concert.
