Vocal Ensemble (MUSL 1220)

Total Credits: 1

Description: This choir is a select (auditioned) choir that sings music from the Western Classical repertoire and choral music from cultures beyond the United States, with occasional infusions of jazz and pop music. The music performed in this choir is more challenging than that of MUSL 1210 (College Choir), so some choral singing experience and familiarity with music notation are expected. You will perform publicly at least once per semester.
