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.
