Ensembles & Auditions

Skule Choir hosts auditions virtually, through recorded submissions. Auditions are typically held near the beginning of each semester, due the Monday night after open rehearsal.

If you require assistance with this process due to technological challenges and require an in-person audition, please contact us or speak with a member of our executive team after open rehearsal.

For audition forms and materials, please refer to this page.

Main Ensemble

Skule Choir's main ensemble is a 40-member SATB mixed chorus, with each semester typically involving practicing and performing 10 to 11 choral pieces, including some sectional pieces.

The audition for the main ensemble is not meant to be difficult or challenging, but to get to know your voice and check your range.

The audition consists of two parts:

You will be asked to sing one ascending and one descending exercise, accompanied by a backtrack. You will be provided a copy of the exercises in their starting key, and may choose between singing the high voice or low voice exercises, whichever you are more comfortable with.
You will be asked to sing a piece of your own choice, unaccompanied, that best showcases your voice. The piece need not be memorized, can be of any length (may even be an excerpt of a longer piece), and may be in any language or style.

Choir++

Skule Choir's smaller advanced ensemble, typically performing 1 or 2 advanced choral pieces per active semester.

As Choir++ is not active every semester, auditions are held differently each time. Please refer to any announcements in the future during rehearsal for more details.
