Chorale

Davidson College Chorale is the premier choral ensemble at Davidson.

A highly select, auditioned choir comprised of students from various academic disciplines, they perform the standard choral repertoire as well as newly composed and commissioned choral literature. The Chorale tours annually and represents Davidson College on the campus, regionally, and nationally.

Rehearsals

Chorale members take great pride in rehearsal discipline and work ethic that results in exquisite artistry. To that end, every member of Chorale commits to rehearsal attendance on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:30 – 6:00 p.m.

Tour

Every year Chorale tours the week prior to the start of classes in January. Tours alternate between closer domestic tours and farther away domestic tours, and once every four years the Chorale tours abroad.

Chorale tour is subsidized in large part, but students are usually asked to provide for some meals and extra activities. Learn more about our tours and their vital purpose.

Auditions

Please plan for a 10-minute audition in the first week of the semester at the Sloan Music Center. You’ll find the process to be welcoming and friendly as we get to know you and determine which ensemble is the right fit for you.

Remember that most of our members are talented non-music majors, and there is a place in the Davidson College Choirs for every singer—beginning, intermediate, and advanced. Learn more about audition sign up and the audition process.

Recordings

The Chorale recorded their first album entitled Heaven Full of Stars in January, 2017, which was produced in the famous Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, California. Hear clips from that recording, including tracks from some of our past live concerts.
