To join either choir, you will need to sign up for a vocal hearing at the beginning of each semester using the audition sign-up page. Vocal hearings are informal, and consist of testing range of voice, testing your ear for pitch replication, and reading a short work together. No prepared work is required.

Any interested students who want to check out the class can come to the first class of the semester. Attendance at this first Introductory class is required for students who are new to the ensemble. Returning students are welcome, but your attendance is not required. In this class, you will be given an overview of the work we will be doing, and learn about the foundations for the semester's exploration.
