Choral auditins held

Auditions for NIU Choral Organizations will be held Tuesday through Friday in the Music Building. Chiors accepting members include the Concert Chior, the University Chorus, the Madrigal Singers and the Northern Lights Vocal Jazz/Show Chior.

Choral Directors Ramona Quinn Wis and Elwood Smith promise the auditions will be “quick and painless.” The two want to meet students with previous musical experience with a desire to be in an NIU vocal ensemble. However, inexperienced singers are also invited to audition.
