Chorale Members

The Chorale is the select, auditioned chamber choir drawn from the Singers.  Hearings for Vacancies are held at the first of each semester, and any member of the Singers may audition.  Membership in the Chorale is based on the quality of the audition, the singer’s ability and the need for a particular voice in any given ensemble.  Participation in Chorale is reported as part of the Singer’s grade.
