The School of Music offers many ensembles for student participation. Membership in all ensembles is by audition. Non-B.Mus. students may participate without registering or receiving academic credit, following a successful audition. Additional fees may apply.

Ensembles are closed for preregistration (you cannot add them on SOLUS during the course selection period). Once the ensemble auditions have taken place in September, B.Mus. students whose auditions were successful will be able to register for ensembles on SOLUS, to a maximum of two.

Below are the dates for the Fall 2012 auditions:
