Our Ensembles
We have two choirs at Macalester:
The CHORALE is our large ensemble. They rehearse twice weekly: Tues 4:45pm-6:15pm and Thurs 6:30pm-8:00pm.
The CONCERT CHOIR is our smaller and more selective ensemble. They rehearse three times weekly: Mon/Wed/Thurs 4:45pm-6:15pm. The Concert Choir is not adding new members this winter. Auditions for the Concert Choir will re-open in the fall of 2025.
Vocal Placement Auditions
Your appointment will take about 15 minutes, and you don't need to prepare anything in advance. You'll meet me (Prof. McGaghie), we'll talk about your musical experience and interests, and briefly sing the following:
Auditions will be held in Prof. McGaghie's office, Music 215.
Please note: admittance to the Concert Choir requires an additional callback audition (to be scheduled later), offered only by invitation after this first round of auditions is complete.
