We invite any interested students, faculty, staff, and other
members of the Duke and Durham communities to audition for the
Chapel Choir. Auditions are normally scheduled during the first
week of classes each semester, and can be arranged by calling (919)
684-3898.
You should bring to your audition something that you know well,
such as a solo song, choral part, hymn, or folksong. First, Dr.
Wynkoop will warm you up and check your range and general voice
quality. Then you can sing up to three minutes of the piece you
have brought. (We'll provide an accompanist, if you need one.)
Finally, you will be asked to sightread some music. You can have
up to four attempts at the sightreading, with coaching and help
from Dr. Wynkoop.
Dr. Wynkoop is looking for singers who can read music and learn
it quickly, who sing in tune, and who have voices that will blend
with others. We try to accept most students and a small number
of non-students from among those who audition each year. Audition
results are posted at noon on the second Monday of classes at the
audition site and at 02 Biddle Music Building.
If you have any questions about joining the Chapel Choir, please
call the Chapel Music Office at (919) 684-3898.
You can view more information on choirs at Duke and the schedule for
the coming year. Please consult the Chapel
Choir schedule prior to your audition so that you know about
any possible conflicts you might have.
