  • UConn Festival Chorus Looking For Singers

    UCONN FESTIVAL CHORUS   -  MUSI 1111 sec 9    ZFA103

    The UConn Festival Chorus is a large mixed chorus comprised of UConn faculty, staff, and students as well as members of the Greater Storrs Community. The Festival Chorus is under the direction of noted conductor and composer Dr. Ellen Gilson Voth and rehearses once per week on Monday evenings - 7:00pm-9:00pm. This fall the Festival Chorus will be preparing Carl Orff's Carmina Burana to sing with the UConn Concert Choir and the UConn Symphony Orchestra in December. This ensemble provides singers with the opportunity to be part of an outstanding community organization and to express themselves through the art of joyous choral singing. Some experience singing in a choir and music sight-reading is recommended but all interested singers are welcome and encouraged to be part of this outstanding choir. Festival Chorus may be taken for no credit for faculty, staff, and commuity members (with $35 membership dues each semester) or as a course with UConn credit. 

    Please contact Dr. Voth at cyd24002@uconn.edu for further information.  Interested community members please show up for the first rehearsal, Monday, September 9th at 6:30pm in rehearsal room ZFA 103 in the UConn Zachs Famliy Fine Arts Administration Building (across from Dog Lane Cafe) to register.
