Choral Placement Registration
KU Choral Placement for Fall 2020 will be online only!
Use this form to signup for a 10-minute online choral audition: KU Choral Placement Registration. During auditions, the choral faculty will help students adjust their schedules accordingly. Auditions will be held online via zoom (link below) on August 24-27, with online rehearsals beginning on August 31. During your audition, you will be able to express your preference for online rehearsals or a hybrid mode. The choral faculty will explain both formats to all students and will communicate with them regarding their choir placement and initial rehearsals.
All new and returning students must complete a placement audition for the 2020-2021 season. Please click the link above to sign up for a placement time and create a KU Choral account, which will be used to place you in a choir. Returning students must update their information (class, availability, etc...).
