Ensemble Auditions

Dear Brooklyn College students, staff, and faculty,

Do you play an instrument or sing, or did you in high school? Want to get back into it?

The Conservatory of Music holds open auditions for our instrumental and vocal ensembles each semester, the week of the first day of classes. Students interested in joining an ensemble should fill out the audition request form below and prepare a piece (or pieces) of your choosing that best showcases your playing: three to five minutes of music.

The ensembles include the Brooklyn College Big Band and Conservatory Jazz Ensemble, Conservatory Orchestra, Wind Ensemble, Brooklyn College Symphonic Choir, Conservatory Singers, and Glee Club.

If you pass the audition, you may play in the ensemble for credit or as an “auditor” (community member).

The ensembles meet at these times:

• Big Band and Conservatory Jazz Ensemble: Tuesdays, 6:40–9:10 p.m., plus one end-of-semester concert
• Orchestra: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 4–6:30 p.m., plus three concerts
• Wind Ensemble: Wednesdays, 6:40–9:10 p.m. plus one end-of-semester concert
• Symphonic Choir: Wednesdays, 6:40–9:10 p.m. plus one end-of-semester concert
• Conservatory Singers: Mondays, 6:40–9:10 p.m. plus one end-of-semester concert
• Glee Club: Wednesdays, 4–6:30pm plus one end-of-semester concert

If you are interested in auditioning for any of these ensembles, fill out the ensemble audition form below, and we will contact you with further instructions.
