The UC Davis Chamber Singers is a select ensemble of mixed voices
between 16–24 (student) members that specializes in advanced a
cappella repertoire for SATB voices. The Chamber Singers will
serve as ambassadors for the choral program. All singers who
audition
for the UC Davis Chamber Singers will also be considered for
the UC Davis Concert Choir and do not need to schedule an
additional audition for that ensemble. Singers that wish to be
considered for this ensemble will be asked to do the following:
Submit a video of an aria, art song, or folk song (similar to
what would be expected for an all-state audition) prior to the
in-person audition.
Complete pitch matching exercises and sight-reading at the
in-person audition.
Have a short conversation about your musical goals and why
you love singing. I will also answer any questions that you may
have about the choral ensembles and singing at UC Davis.
