The University Choir is the premiere vocal ensemble at Southeast Missouri State University. Open to all university students by audition, this fifty-voice choir performs vocal music of the highest quality from the Renaissance to the present in a wide variety of styles. The ensemble performs concerts both on and off campus each semester and also combines with the Choral Union and the Southeast Missouri Symphony Orchestra each semester to perform major choral/orchestral works. Rehearsal times are Mondays 12:30 - 1:20pm, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:30–1:45 in the Shuck recital hall at the River Campus.
Auditions for the University Choir take place at the beginning of the fall semester. Should any opening occur, a spring semester audition may be scheduled.
Auditions Include:
1. A prepared piece of your choosing (an accompanist will be provided)
2. Vocalizing to check your range
3. Sight Reading
4. Tonal Memory
