Choir Auditions
Auditions 2012-2013
Membership in UWM choral ensembles is open to any UWM student by audition. Becoming a member of one of our choirs can give you the opportunity to grow and develop as a musician, to make new friends and to be part of one of UWM’s most exciting and popular student activities.
Choir voice placements for the Spring 2013 semester are coming soon! Meet the choral faculty and sing a simple song for them during choral auditions that happen the first three days of classes!
Tuesday, January 22 - 1-4pmWednesday, January 23 - 10am-3pm
Thursday, January 24 - 1-3pm
Sign up for a simple, five-minute voice placement hearing. This hearing is designed to let the UWM Choral Faculty meet you, hear your voice, and then place you in the optimal ensemble for your voice!
You can sign up for an audition time on the audition sheets hanging on the Choir Bulletin Board, located in the Music Building, first floor, across from room 159. Pick a time that is convenient for your schedule. The sheets will be available beginning January 8, 2013.
