| Choral music is one of the hallmarks of the Sunderman Conservatory. With four choral ensembles, there are opportunities for singers at all levels of experience and expertise. All singers participate in one of the three main ensembles in the program: College Choir, Concert Choir, or Women's Choir. Those with further interest may also participate in a vocal chamber group called the Camerata. Many students sing in more than one ensemble, tailoring their involvement according to their interests and availability. All choirs are open by audition to Gettysburg College students, regardless of major. Community members are welcome to audition for the Concert Choir. Auditions are very low key and friendly, so don't let them scare you away. We just want to meet everyone and make sure they get into the right choir and voice part. |
