ENSEMBLE INFORMATION

When does Camerata rehearse?
Tuesday and Thursday, 1:00-2:15 in the Fine Arts Building, Recital Hall. Visitors are welcome.

Who should audition for Camerata?
Any UMBC student with significant choral experience, music reading skills, a commitment to expressive singing, and a creative imagination.

What are the additional things for which students are responsible?
Ladies are required to purchase a Music Department black performance dress. The cost is approximately $68. Information on the dress will be supplied the first week of the semester. Men are required to own a black suit, a solid black silk necktie, a dress white shirt, a black belt, and black dress shoes. In addition, students are required to purchase scores from the UMBC bookstore in time for the first rehearsal. Semester packets are typically no more than $25 or so.

Will singing in Camerata satisfy an Arts and Humanities General Education Program (GEP) requirement?
Yes, if for one semester you register for Music in Performance (MUSC358) instead of Camerata (MUSC303). Music in Performance consists of your ensemble rehearsal times plus a one-hour, once-a-week lecture course that introduces students to important topics in music performance and criticism.

MUSC358, therefore, is a combined class and grade between Camerata and your work in the lecture portion of the course. All First-Year students who are seated in a Department of Music ensemble, including majors in music, are strongly encouraged to register for MUSC358.

CAMERATA AUDITIONS
