Ensemble Auditions
The Conservatory of Music holds open auditions for our instrumental and vocal ensembles every semester, the week of the first day of classes for Brooklyn College students, staff, and faculty. All Brooklyn College students, staff, and faculty interested in joining an ensemble should fill out the audition request form (below) and prepare a piece (or pieces) of your choosing that best showcases your playing: three minutes of music. If you pass the audition, you may play in the ensemble for credit by registering for the course or completing the registered auditor form (PDF).
