The University of Georgia Choirs provide students with a rich variety of performance opportunities in one of seven outstanding ensembles, regardless of major. The Hugh Hodgson School of Music invites all to experience the excitement and rewards of making music, finding fellowship, and joining a longstanding tradition of musical excellence. Ensembles which do not require a placement hearing are open to all interested singers - simply register. Voice part placement will take place on the first day of classes. Spring 2025: Choral Office, Hugh Hodgson School of Music Returning Hodgson Singers members DO NOT need to re-audition for Spring 2025 All music majors and minors who plan to use a choir to fulfill their large ensemble requirement must do a choir placement hearing and enroll in their assigned choral ensemble as determined by the choral faculty. Please reach out to Prof. Shafer (daniel.shafer@uga.edu) if you need to schedule a hearing. Singers interested in being considered for Repertory Singers should contact Dr. Bara by e-mail (dbara@uga.edu). There is nothing to prepare for a choral hearing. Students will be asked to vocalize (in order to demonstrate voice range, size, and character) and show their level of music literacy, which includes singing a short sight-reading excerpt. Choral Project auditions for Spring 2025 are open until 11/26/24. It is open to all graduate students and undergraduates in their second year or higher. Follow this link to learn more about our upcoming project and the audition process. Students who do not need a choir to fulfill their large ensemble requirement and non-majors do not need to do a placement hearing to join Women's Glee Club, Men's Glee Club, University Chorus, or African American Choral Ensemble. Just register for the course and come to the first day of class. New transfer students majoring or minoring in music should contact Dr. Bara (dbara@uga.edu) and Prof. Shafer (daniel.shafer@uga.edu) by e-mail to schedule a hearing. Questions?
