Hearings for choral ensemble placement for Spring 2021 will take place virtually on Tuesday, December 15, 2020, 9-11 AM and Wednesday, December 16, 2020, 2-4 PM for any student who is interested in joining a choral ensemble for the spring semester. Current members of the choral ensembles will not need to re-audition. Please sign up online for an audition time at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70a0b4bafa823a0ff2-choral4.

Audition Requirements  

• Bring your already completed audition form (available at https://music.missouri.edu/ensemble/choirs). 

• We will vocalize you to test your range to determine your voice part. If you would prefer to bring a prepared solo, we will be glad to hear that, too, but it is not required for the audition. 

• Demonstrate your sight-reading skills.   

• Demonstrate your tonal memory skills.   

The complete process takes approximately seven minutes. For more information, visit: https://music.missouri.edu/ensemble/choirs

If you are unable to audition during the above times, or have additional questions, please contact Dr. Paul Crabb at crabbrp@missouri.edu or Dr. Brandon Boyd at boydba@missouri.edu. 

All new and returning instrumental students are required to audition for ensemble placement at the beginning of the spring semester. Non-music majors interested in joining University Band will not need to audition.

String players:  

String placements from Fall 2020 will remain the same for Spring 2021. If you are not currently a member of the University Philharmonic Orchestra and would like to join, please contact Prof. Barry Ford (FordBM@missouri.edu) to set up an audition time.

Audition sign-ups are available at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0B4BAFA823A0FF2-wind1.
