Student Choirs
Aspiring songbirds can audition for any of the many choirs at McGill – such as a capella ensembles Soulstice, Effusion, Tonal Ectasy, and New Earth Voices, and women’s choral ensemble Les Muses Chorale. Vocal superstars can also check out the McGill Choral Society, which doesn’t require an audition to join.
