Let's make music together.

We offer graduate and undergraduate students, majors and non-majors, the opportunity to participate in one or more of our 20+ ensembles. Most ensembles require an audition to enroll, but World Music ensembles, with the exception of Gospel Choir, do not. Click on the links below for more information about each ensemble, as well as any relevant audition information, if required. Please consult the current quarter's Schedule of Classes to confirm class times.

Ensembles are found in GOLD under MUS A - Performance Laboratories.

Find links for each ensemble below to learn about their specific course numbers. In ensembles, students register based on their class level, based on their number of completed units. To check your standing, look in GOLD (registration tab, class standing). Freshmen and Sophomores should register for the lower-division class (numbered 0-99), juniors and seniors should register for upper-division (100's) and graduate students should register for course numbers in the 200s.
