A cappella Choir

Audition Only

This select ensemble comprises singers who have been enrolled in Chamber Choir for at least one year. The only exception to that rule is tenors or basses with changed voices who are interested (and qualified) to sing with BCC! Auditions for this ensemble can take place for currently enrolled BCC singers at their Spring placement appointment. In some instances, video auditions will be accepted, due to the fact that many folks travel during the Summer months.
