Formation of each choir is dependent upon enrollment, the financial viability, and the professional assessment of the artistic staff as to the placement of singers.
While most students are placed in the ensemble intended for their age, flexibility is permitted based on the student’s vocal maturity and musical readiness. All singers are auditioned annually, and new members are accepted in May/June, August/September, and January.
