World Voices Collective is an ensemble made up of treble voices - sopranos and altos - that perform a wide variety of choral music from around the world.
Who Can Register

Audition Information
Auditions for the Fall 2024 will be posted soon. Please check back.
To Request an audition, please fill out this FORM. Prior to your audition, you will receive an email with your specific audition time and location.
The audition Will Consist of:
- A vocal solo, chosen by you. Please limit it to no more than 2 minutes in length. (See below for important considerations regarding song selection.)
- Sight singing.
- Pitch matching and vocal range exercises.
- Please bring a score for the pianist to your audition.
When choosing your audition song, consider the following:
- Select a song that allows you to demonstrate solid, vibrant, and healthy vocalism.
- Select a song that emphasizes your vocal gifts and your ability to communicate through singing.
- The song can be in any style or genre.
- The song can be in any language.
- The song will be performed with piano accompaniment; a pianist is provided for the audition.
- While not required, it is recommended you sing your 2-minute song excerpt from memory.
- It is best not to confuse the adjudicator with your song choice. For example, it can be confusing if you indicate that you normally sing Soprano 1 in choir but then perform a song in a range, style, and/or vocalism that doesn’t reflect that.
