August 29 & August 30, 2026 — The Georgetown University Chamber Singers are holding auditions for the Fall 2026 semester. All Georgetown students are welcome to audition regardless of major or school. The audition piece is Thomas Tallis’ If ye love me — sheet music will be provided in advance.
The Georgetown University Choir — comprising our Concert Choir and Chamber Singers — represents the choral tradition at one of the nation’s oldest Catholic and Jesuit universities. We are proud of the vibrant musical community we have built and invite you to explore the talented singers, ambitious repertoire, and collaborative spirit that define our program.
Whether performing large-scale orchestral works, intimate a cappella masterpieces, or commissioning new compositions, our ensembles embody Georgetown’s enduring commitment to the arts and to the transformative power of singing together.
The Georgetown University Concert Choir is an SATB ensemble that performs sacred and secular works from all periods of music history. The Choir performs one major concert each semester, collaborating frequently with the Georgetown University Orchestra and guest artists. Open by audition to students, faculty, staff, and members of the University community. Host of the annual Messiah Sing-Along.
The Georgetown University Chamber Singers, founded in 1992, is a select group of mixed voices organized to perform small choral masterworks from the Renaissance through the twenty-first century. Emphasis is placed on the art of a cappella singing, with repertoire spanning Josquin, Palestrina, Byrd, Poulenc, and living composers. The ensemble performs on campus, at venues across Washington, and on tour.
The Georgetown University Choir celebrates the joy of singing, cultivates musical excellence, and fosters community through the transformative power of choral music on the Hilltop and beyond.
