Swarthmore College Chorus
Directed by John Alston

The Swarthmore College Chorus rehearses once a week and performs once or twice each semester, typically accompanied by the Swarthmore College Chamber Orchestra. Auditions for new members are held at the beginning of the fall semester and sometimes in the spring as well. Solo parts are awarded to students through competitive auditions later in the semester.
