You don't have to be a music major to have a voice
at UWM!
Would you like to become a member of one (or
more!) of the choral ensembles that UWM has to offer?
Read
on, read on!
The choral ensemble experience
at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee
is diversified and comprehensive, ranging from traditional
to experimental, classical to gospel, and intimate to grandiose.
Most
ensembles are available to both music majors and non-music
majors, providing opportunities for participation at all levels
of interest
and expertise, and bringing together musically interested students
from across campus.
Each of the five choirs has its own identity,
but choirs also combine for special events such as annual end-of-semester
concerts
and
major concerts with orchestra.
Membership in UWM choral ensembles
is open to any UWM student by audition. Becoming a member of one
of our choirs can give
you the
opportunity to grow and develop as a musician, to make
new friends and to be part of one of UWM’s most exciting
and popular student activities.
Each year over 200 students
take part in choral activities at UWM. Participants represent nearly
all academic disciplines
and
majors.
Seventy-five percent of the singers are majoring in areas
other than music, and nearly all are undergraduates.
All choir members
enjoy
the opportunity to sing in the beautiful, 800-seat Helen
Bader Concert Hall of the Zelazo Center for the Performing
Arts on
campus.
Information about our faculty/staff, ensembles,
auditions, and traditions can be found on this web site. For the
graduate student
interested in
majoring in choral music, the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee
offers the MM degree in choral conducting, and
the MM in Music Education: Choral Conducting Emphasis
degree in choral music
education.
Please check our calendar for
concert dates and special events such as the ChorFest and Festival
of Men's Voices.
