Singer Voice Hearings

Membership is open to singers with previous choral experience and/or the ability to read music. All voice parts are welcome.

Voice hearings will be held for our spring season in January 2027. Please click here and complete the info form. Select “Auditions” under Message Subject, and our Voice Hearings Coordinator will contact you about setting up a time to sing for our director, Scott Uddenberg.

Rehearsals

Elmhurst Choral Union rehearses on Tuesday evenings from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m. in Room 200 in Irion Hall at Elmhurst University. To see a PDF of the campus, click here. 

There is a large parking lot on the north side of Alexander Boulevard where you can park on campus. Please allow an extra five minutes to walk from the lot to Irion Hall.

We typically present two major concerts each year—one in the spring and one in December—as well as a smaller summer concert. In the final week before each performance, we hold an extra rehearsal with the orchestra in the performance venue.

Membership Requirements

To maintain our high-quality performances with professional orchestra and soloists, members are required to pay an annual membership fee of $110 and purchase $100 in tickets at the reduced member rate for each of our two major concerts; members may sell these tickets.

A regular member who is experiencing financial hardship may confidentially contact the Board President at the start of the season to determine eligibility for one of a limited number of scholarships available to assist with membership dues.

Members are also asked to purchase the music required for each season, which will be available at rehearsals. Members may use their own scores, provided they are the exact same editions selected by the Director.

Masks are optional during rehearsals and concerts; the Board reserves the right to change this policy at any time based on the CDC guidelines or if it deems such a policy change is necessary.

Elmhurst Choral Union promises singers:

  • Opportunity: You’ll perform with a professional orchestra, a rare experience not to be missed and impossible to imitate.
  • Challenge: Enhance your vocal technique and musical skills. Bolstered by your fellow singers, you’ll work hard, take risks and have fun!
  • Encouragement: If you want to learn more about music theory or refine your home rehearsal methods, we have tools for you.
  • Camaraderie: You’ll be part of a singing family of diverse ages and backgrounds, sharing interests, learning from each other, and growing together as musicians.
