Welcome! Oberlin College Choir performs great a cappella and accompanied choral music from the Rennaissance to today. The Oberlin College Choir is the only major Conservatory ensemble where College students and Conservatory voice majors regularly perform together.

We rehearse MWF from 4:30 - 6:00, and present two to three concerts each semester, providing one of the most intense and varied choral experiences on campus.

Fall 2023 Auditions:

Auditions for incoming and returning students will take place during first-year orientation.

• Voice Majors: Sign up for a voice major audition time here.
