Auditions are held at the beginning of each semester.

The audition process consists of vocalizing to determine range and voice part, echoing patterns, singing a prepared (unaccompanied) solo, and learning a short segment of a choral work. After accepting the invitation to participate in the ensemble, students will be automatically added through Workday. Please reach out to Dr. Kari Francis (k.francis@bowdoin.edu) with any questions.
