Sing in a Choir
Be part of an immediate community of friends. Fun fact: Most choir members are not music majors; they represent all areas of study. Join now and enrich your Concordia experience.
Choral Auditions
Concordia College is known nationally and internationally for its excellence in choral music.
We want you to find your voice in one of our choirs.
Any student who would like to be part of a choral ensemble this year is encouraged to audition in the fall. Sign up to be a part of the Concordia Christmas Concerts, shown in the video above. (Video recorded in 2021 when masking was required. Masking is not currently planned for the 2022 Christmas Concert.)
Scheduling an Audition
All students are welcome to audition for a choral ensemble regardless of previous singing experience. Auditions are brief (7 minutes) and easy to complete.
