Voorhees Choir

The Voorhees Choir maintains a membership of 65 voices, representing all women of the university. The choir presents two major concerts each year and serves as the official college choir at Douglass Residential College events, such as the Yule Log, Sacred Path and commencement ceremonies.

The Voorhees Choir has a long tradition of representing Rutgers University, from its beginnings as the choir of the New Jersey College for Women (NJC) to its years as the official choir of Douglass College to its important dual role as an ensemble in the Mason Gross School of the Arts and its continuing work as an institution of pride representing the Douglass Residential College (DRC).

The Voorhees Choir is extremely appreciative of the support of the Dean of the Douglass Residential College and Douglass Campus, Jacquelyn Litt.

Audition Information
September 3‒6, 2013

Auditions for the 2013-2014 academic year will take place in the newly constructed Mortensen Hall during the first week of classes.

Students are not required to bring prepared material to the choral auditions. You will be asked to sing some brief and easy exercises to help the directors determine your voice part. A brief pitch-matching exercise will be given to you and you may be asked to sing Happy Birthday or My country ‘Tis of Thee. Directors of all four vocal ensembles at Mason Gross attend the auditions, so you only need to sing once. Teaching assistant and choir officers will be available to assist you with scheduling conflicts.
