It's that time again: time to brush up your vocal skills and audition to become a member of the University of Utah Singers!
Auditions for the choir will be held on August 19, 20, and 23, with callback auditions on August 24. Call or visit the School of Music office (801-581-6762) to schedule an audition appointment.
You will need to come prepared with a vocal solo and ready to sightread and complete some vocal exercises. This year you will also need to come prepared to sing your voice part on two different choral pieces: the Argentine folk song "Arroz con Leche" and Morten Lauridsen's "Soneto de la Noche."
Detailed information is posted on our website. You can also download copies of the two required choral pieces there.
While you wait for the new year to begin, why not hop on over to our YouTube channel? We have begun posting videos from last year's Israel tour, with more on the way! And don't forget to join us on Facebook for all the latest news, as well as pictures and video!

Choral Showcase videos and Facebook fan page
The first concert of the 2009/2010 academic year, the Fall Choral Showcase, is over, and it went great. Here's what a few of the members of the choir have to say about it:
Blythe Enke (Soprano II): “There is no way to truly describe the feeling of performing with the Singers until you're right there, actually doing it... I wasn't prepared for the way I would feel when we walked onto the stage, I was so overcome with emotion that I felt like I wanted to laugh, cry, and be lifted up into the sky all at once... hallelujah!"
Anna Lucero (Alto II): "The music was absolutely phenomenal-I was going to die it was so beautiful!"
Paul Hill (Bass II): "I was really pleased with our performance and I received lots of positive feedback about it. I was told by one person that it was nice for him to hear a concert where everyone was in tune. My mom had tears in her eyes as we finished the Circle of Life and I knew we'd done something special.”
