Interested singers are encouraged to audition for Chapel Choir and the Camerata!

Auditions typically take place during orientation and the first two weeks of classes, but you can reach out to Dr. Aldrich at any time.

If you wish to be considered for Chapel Camerata this spring, you must complete your audition by February 3, 2026.

What does the audition entail?

The most important thing to know is that director Nicole Aldrich will try to keep your audition as stress-free as possible. There are three parts to the audition:

· Vocalizing: Dr. Aldrich will guide you through some vocal exercises to figure out how high and low you can sing.

 · Singing a prepared piece: Choose a piece that you love and that shows your voice well. All styles of music are welcome! Dr. Aldrich can accompany you, or you are welcome to sing unaccompanied or with a backing track. (Please bring a piano part if you wish to sing with live accompaniment.)

 · Assessing your tonal memory and sight-reading skills: Can you echo back a short pattern the director sings? Have you had the opportunity to learn how to read music?

(If you do not have any experience with sight-reading, don’t worry! Music reading is a skill that can be learned.)
