No audition necessary for June choir performance

Looking for a place to sing this summer? Rehearsals are set for the WSU Summer Choir performance of “Patriotic Music,” in honor of the state’s 150th anniversary of statehood, at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, June 30, in Wiedemann Recital Hall. No audition is necessary.

Rehearsals will run from 5-6:45 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays beginning Monday, June 6, in B101 Duerksen Fine Arts Center.

“Singers high school age and older in all voice parts are welcome,” said Tom Wine, director of choirs and a professor of music education at WSU.

Wine said the annual summer choir is always a great time of singing and fellowship for everyone involved.

Teachers may enroll for college graduate credit, he said, but it is not required for participation.

“Please feel free to pass along the invitation to sing,” said Wine. “The more the merrier.”

Every summer, WSU holds auditions for the WSU Summer Choir, a multigenerational choir of 80 singers, featuring high school and college students, area music teachers and retired musicians.
