University Chorus

Chorus auditions consist of vocalizing, pitch matching and easy sight reading. Non-readers with good pitch retention can often get into the group.

A prepared piece of music is not needed for the audition.

Interested singers should come to the first rehearsal on Monday, September 24 (5:30 in the Main Auditorium), sit in, and sign up for an audition time at the end of the rehearsal.

Most of the singers are not music majors.

Chamber Singers

The Chamber Singers audition consists of singing a prepared solo and sight reading.
