The University of Washington Chorale is an auditioned advanced undergraduate ensemble of music and non-music majors from the Seattle campus. UW Chorale has appeared as guest ensemble with the Seattle Symphony, in joint concerts with Revalia Male Chamber Choir in Estonia, and for the Princess of Sweden. UW Chorale appeared at the Latvian Song Festival in Riga, during the summer of 2013 as one of the only American choirs. Their first two solo CDs, Climb and Refuge, are now available for purchase at iTunes, CD Baby or from Dr. Wyers. A third CD, Resonant Streams, is currently in the final stages of production.
UW Choir 2018 Auditions will take place on September 24th and 25th, 9 am to 4:30 pm - Music Building, Room 213.
Auditioning for choir (Chamber Singers, Recital Choir & University Chorale) involves a sight-singing evaluation and an opportunity for our faculty to hear you perform. Please come with a prepared piece to sing (an art song, folksong, or other national song) and bring an extra copy of your song with you for our accompanist if possible.
You must sign up for an audition time. MORE INFORMATION
