2007 Audition Information for UIndy Choral Ensembles
Auditions for UIndy Choral Ensembles are open to all students and are required for all Vocal Music Majors and students receiving Choral Ensemble Fellowships. If you are not majoring in music but enjoy singing you should definitely consider joining one of our choral ensembles. Whether you’re an experienced musician, or you’ve never sung in a choir in your life, we have a place for you!
Auditions will be held in CDFAC 108 during the following times:
- Thursday, August 23: 4:00 - 7:00 p.m.
- Friday, August 24: 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
- Monday, August 27: 2:00 - 5:00 p.m.
Sign up for a choral ensemble audition time
The sign-up sheet, with individual times, will be posted outside the Music Office (CDFAC 103). Please sign up for a time near someone else to avoid large gaps in the schedule.
The auditions are an opportunity for the choral ensemble directors to meet you and hear you sing. We’ll also be curious to find out about your musical training and experience— although neither is necessary—in order to find the ensemble that’s just right for you! If you have solo pieces you’d like to sing for us, please bring them although it’s not necessary. We’ll provide an accompanist.
College credit is available and it can be applied towards your degree!
We have six choral ensembles to choose from:
