UMBC Camerata Auditions
Stephen Caracciolo, Director UMBC Camerata at UMBC is a select chamber choir of 35-45 singers. The ensemble performs great choral literature in a variety of styles, from Renaissance motets to avant-garde contemporary works.
Because the UMBC Camerata performs a challenging repertoire, those who are interested must audition at the beginning of each semester. However, one does not need to be a music major to join Camerata, as long as he or she is willing to make the commitment necessary for a successful ensemble. The audition time SIGN UP SHEET will be posted outside of Fine Arts 021.
