Nicolás Dosman, director
The two choruses at UC Davis offer opportunities for singers at different levels.
Concert Choir
The UC Davis Concert Choir is a large mixed ensemble open to members of the university and the greater Davis community. The focus of this ensemble is the performance of large-scale choral-orchestral and extended choral works.
To Be Considered
Vocal placement for this ensemble consists of the following:
- Vocal warmup and range exploration
- Pitch matching exercises and singing Happy Birthday
- Brief chat about your musical goals and why you love singing. Professor Dosman will also answer any questions that you may have about the choral ensembles and singing at UC Davis.
Course Information
Chamber Singers
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.
To Be Considered
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. Professor Dosman will also answer any questions that you may have about the choral ensembles and singing at UC Davis.
