Interested in singing with us? All voices are welcome – men’s voices are especially needed. To arrange an informal audition please contact us today.
Along with the fun of learning new and challenging music together, our members know that we are singing and raising money to benefit deserving students, helping them to further their career in music. The simple process to join includes an informal audition with our Music Director to check voice range and music-reading skills. Our singers have a range of backgrounds. You don’t need to be a music major to join, but we do ask you to commit the time needed to learn your music.
