Ensembles

Whether you are passionate about jazz, choral, worship, a cappella or instrumental music, there’s a place for you here.

The music department offers more than 20 different ensembles open to music majors and non-majors alike. Your passion for music will find a home at Hope College. As a student, you will be able to perform diverse repertoire from around the world and represent the college in area concerts, national tours and television broadcasts. 

Christmas VespersMost ensembles require some sort of placement hearing which provides an opportunity for the ensemble conductors to meet new performers. Students may choose to enroll in any ensemble for zero credit, an option that helps to avoid course overloads and extra costs.
