Join a choir at St. Ambrose University to build connections with fellow musicians and enhance your college experience.
St. Ambrose University offers three choirs open for students to join. Through our choir you can build a sense of community, develop your skill, and gain a sense of accomplishment. Participation in a choir can even net you a $1,500 tuition reward, in addition to other talent-based rewards.
A select ensemble of students and community singers studying and performing significant choral literature of all periods and styles, including an emphasis on fascinating new works by living composers.
No formal audition is required, just a brief vocal diagnostic to assess your range.
Participants receive an automatic, renewable $1500 award for participation. Additional talent-based awards are available with an audition.
Another memorable experience from my time at St. Ambrose was getting the opportunity to travel abroad twice within four years with both Chamber Singers and Symphonic Band. Having the opportunity to perform in such beautiful locations with some of my closest friends was something I will truly never forget!
