WWCS Master Chorus
Master Chorus Auditions are now closed for everyone except Basses. Please email info@wallawallachoralsociety with any questions you might have. Thank you!
We are excited to announce the formation of a new, auditioned vocal ensemble: the Walla Walla Master Chorus.
This chamber ensemble will be comprised of 16–24 skilled singers with a passion for excellence in choral performance. Our mission is to establish a premier vocal ensemble in the Walla Walla Valley—one capable of delivering compelling, high-caliber music to our local community, and beyond.
This is more than a choir. It’s a vision.
We’re building an ensemble rooted in precision, artistry, and collaboration; performing repertoire that ranges from masterworks to modern gems. The Walla Walla Master Chorus will not only enrich the cultural fabric of our valley but also seek opportunities to perform in regional festivals, special events, and concert series throughout the Northwest and beyond.
If you are a dedicated singer looking for a new musical home—or know someone who is—we would love to hear from you.
Master Chorus Participation Expectations
As a member of the Walla Walla Master Chorus, you are part of a dedicated, high-level vocal ensemble representing the artistic excellence of our choral community. In order to support the mission and sustainability of the Walla Walla Choral Society as a whole, all Master Chorus singers are expected to participate in at least one of the two main Choral Society concerts during the season, in addition to Master Chorus commitments.
This expectation isn’t just about adding voices — it’s about contributing to the broader organization that makes the Master Chorus possible. Your presence in a main concert helps strengthen our community impact, balances ensembles, supports audience growth, and fosters unity between all levels of singers in the Society.
Participating in both a concert and the Master Chorus experience shows your commitment not only to musical excellence but also to the vibrant, collaborative spirit that defines the Walla Walla choral family.
Information about membership dues and concert apparel will be posted as soon as possible.

Hello and thank you for choosing to audition for the Walla Walla Master Chorus! We are thrilled to have you and are excited for you to join us. We have an exciting concert series planned, and the repertoire is sure to be moving and exhilarating.
Please prepare the following selections for your audition:
For Sopranos, Altos, and Tenors (SAT):
Sheet Music Link: Prepare from square G to the bottom of the page (measure 75), cutting off on beat 2 of "Sanctus." If you are a first or second soprano, please know both parts at the split.
This section is in 3/2 time, with the half note = c. 63-66.
For all parts (SATB):
Sheet Music Link: Prepare from square B on page 58 through the bottom of page 59, just before square D. Basses, this is the only section I would like to hear from you.
This section is in 4/4 time with the quarter note = c. 70
In addition to these selections, I will also be checking your vocal range and pitch retention.
Thank you,
Robb Harrison
