Chamber Singers and University Chorus
Any Brandeis University student, staff, or faculty can join a choir for credit or as an extracurricular activity. Regardless of your background or level of experience, we have a choir for you!
This fall, choral auditions will take place on Monday, August 26, 2024 and Tuesday, August 27, 2024. To join either choir, please sign up for a 2024 vocal hearing here! Vocal hearings are informal, and consist of (1) testing range of voice, (2) testing your ear for pitch replication, and (3) reading a short work together. No prepared work is required.
