How to Join an Ensemble

Rocky-Mountain-Tops.JPGAll CC students are welcome to participate in any of the department ensembles which present concerts each semester. An option to earn academic creidt by registering for ensembles as a semester-long adjunct course is offered. Details on how to join are found on each ensemble's page.

Our large ensembles include the Colorado College Choir (which is open to the community), Chamber Chorus, Concert Band, Chamber Orchestra, and Tiger Jazz. Bluegrass Ensembles - offered at various skill levels, Collegium Musicum - which performs early music, and Gamelan Ensemble - directed by a Balinese master teacher and featuring traditional music, dance, and costumes, are among our unique performance opportunities. Musical Theatre productions, featuring current voice students, are presented each semester.

Additionally, the department may endorse student led and directed ensembles. Students can gain credit and coaching from the department for approved projects.

More Information

Students enrolled in lessons or an ensemble automatically have their Gold Card activated to allow access to our practice rooms for that semester (if you are a current student in lessons or ensembles and you do not have Gold Card access to practice rooms, contact the Music Office in Packard 116 or email music@coloradocollege.edu). Students not otherwise participating in the department may "rent" Gold Card access to practice rooms for $100 per semester.

Students must be enrolled in lessons or an ensemble to check out a locker. Contact the Music Production Coordinator (Packard 49) for details. Lost key charge is $100. 

Musical instruments are available to rent for students who are enrolled in private lessons, ensembles, and group classes. A rental fee for the academic year is charged to the student’s account when enrolled for fall semester; $100 for private lessons, $50 for group classes, and $40 for ensembles. If a student chooses to not continue enrollment for spring semester AND returns the instrument by the posted deadline in block 4, half of the yearly rental fee will be refunded to the student’s account. Rentals for spring semester only are $50 for private lessons, $25 for group classes, and $20 for ensembles.

Contact the Music Production Coordinator (Packard 49) to inquire about availability and to rent a musical instrument.
