Concert Choir may be taken for credit: 21M.401

 

The MIT Concert Choir, directed by Ryan Turner, is a large choral group open by audition to both graduate and undergraduate students, and to members of the MIT community. The Concert Choir is a social, academic and musical ensemble in which students learn and perform major works from the standard repertoire, as well as selected shorter and lesser-known pieces.

Basic vocal technique, diction, and music reading skills are a part of every rehearsal. Rehearsals culminate in a public performance each semester that is often accompanied by a professional orchestra and soloists. When appropriate, student soloists are also featured. You can find a more detailed history of MIT's Concert Choir here.

Interested singers should attend the open rehearsals on Monday, February 2 and Wednesday, February 4, 7:05p-9:30p pm in Tull Concert Hall (W18). During the first 45 minutes of this meeting, we will all learn an excerpt from the choral music we’ll be performing. This excerpt will be used as the music for a low-key placement evaluation in which you will be asked to sing it in a small group. (ALL SINGERS should attend).

Michael Tippett A Child of Our Time with the MIT Symphony Orchestra
