Murch students with a passion for singing are invited to audition to become members of Children’s Chorus of Washington. Extensive means-tested financial aid is offered each year, to ensure that any young person who wishes to join can do so.

Singers who are rising 3rd graders upwards can schedule a time to meet our music staff, share their vocal talents, and chat about why they want to be a member of the chorus. (Students in K to Grade 2 are not required to audition but can register to join our open-entry Prep class or Training Ensemble.)

Our audition is a welcoming and inclusive process, designed to get the best out of young people, celebrate their successes, and find the right ensemble for them. Singers do not need to prepare anything for the audition, but should arrive ready to respond with energy and enthusiasm to musical ideas from the director.
