Performing Ensembles

The UK School of Music provides plentiful opportunities for students to participate in music making, whether as a music major, music minor on non-music student.

Auditions for most ensembles are held around the first week of classes each semester. For questions about participation in an ensemble, contact the ensemble director.

SPRING 2021 LARGE ENSEMBLE AUDITIONS 

Students should audition for all ensembles directly relating to their primary instrument each semester for proper ensemble placement, to be determined by ensemble conductors in consultation with studio faculty. Both online and in-person auditions are available. In-person auditions will be optional for both students and faculty and will adhere to all university safety guidelines. Folders with both online and live audition videos and registration information will be evaluated by ensemble directors and studio faculty to finalize ensemble assignments.
