Students wishing to take part in the Collegium need to demonstrate musical proficiency on their instrument or in singing (or both!). The Collegium welcomes musicians who are interested in performing Baroque music, where “modern” instruments such as the violin, viola, cello, flute, oboe, bassoon, etc. are used. Students who wish to participate using Medieval and Renaissance instruments (and who are not already proficient on those instruments) should audition on an instrument that closely approximates the “early” instrument (for example: students wishing to play the recorder or crumhorn might audition on flute or clarinet, while students wishing to play shawm could audition on oboe).
To schedule an informal audition please contact Dr. Lindsay Johnson at (410) 455-2941 or by e-mail at lmjohnson@umbc.edu.
