Choral Ensembles 2009 - 2010
If you really enjoy singing and singing in choirs, consider joining one of the University's choral ensembles. Choral singing is a series of enjoyments, an activity that makes your learning
more effective and one you can enjoy lifelong -- the experience is always new. Our choirs are open to any students interested in collegiate-level choral music, regardless of major. They are suited to various levels of singing experience and technical levels. All offer one hour of credit and most everything needed for success happens within the scheduled rehearsals.
Entrance to all the groups is by a Choral Placement Hearing (which is brief and painless). Check out the auditions page for more information.
