Founded in 1998, Dischord is the University of Pennsylvania's premier Pop and R&B all gender A Cappella group. We are student run and perform one show per semester, in addition to a variety of outside gigs. We cover artists like The Weeknd, Lizzy McAlpine, Coldplay, Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Bruno Mars, and more. Although we are a singing group, we like to say that we are 49% music and 51% family!

Question: Can students audition in the spring semester? - Anonymous
Every year, Dischord hosts auditions in the fall. Depending on the size of our group and which voice parts we may need, we sometimes choose to host spring auditions as well. In January of 2022, we did not host spring auditions, but we did host them this past January! While a decision has not yet been made for this year, we will post information on our Instagram (@upenndischord) if we do decide to host spring auditions.

Question: What's the weekly time commitment for a Dischord A Cappella member? Thank you so much! - Anonymous
We generally have two 3 hour rehearsals per week as well as short gigs around once or twice a month. Plus, members are expected to put in a bit of time outside of rehearsals to learn and practice their music. We also have a bunch of social events throughout the year that are not mandatory but encouraged for all group members to attend!
