Choral Ensembles

The Boston Conservatory Chorale and the Women’s Chorus each perform three concerts annually.  Both ensembles perform with The Boston Conservatory Orchestra, as well as with outside orchestras or in special performances with one of Boston Conservatory's other large ensembles.  Repertoire includes premieres of new works, rarely-performed works and large works of the standard repertory.  All undergraduate Voice Performance majors are required to enroll in a choral ensemble each semester, and graduate students in Voice Performance may use placement in a choral ensemble to fulfill large ensemble requirements. Placement into each ensemble is by audition.
