UWM Announces Plans to Close Washington County Campus
Following a directive from the Universities of Wisconsin, UWM will close the UWM at Washington County campus, with a goal of completing the process by June 30, 2024.

The UWM at Washington County campus offers both chorus and band opportunities for students and community members to join.

Community members can register through the Continuing Education catalog.

Moraine Chorus

The Moraine Chorus is a mixed “communiversity” chorus consisting of community members and UWM at Washington County students. The repertoire includes great choral works by Mendelssohn, Brahms, Mozart, Bach and others, as well as lighter pieces.

New members are always welcome. There are no auditions, and no experience is necessary to join. Rehearsals are on Mondays from 7 to 9 p.m. in Room FA229.
