Requirements
New members of the Chorus are selected by audition, as openings in the Chorus allow. At the present time, the Chorus will be auditioning for the following voices for the upcoming season:
  • Soprano
  • Alto
  • Tenor
  • Bass 
Experienced singers over the age of 18 who can read music are invited to audition. Singers who are selected for the Chorus are expected to participate in all rehearsals and performances of the season. The audition process is as follows:
  1. Indicate your desire to audition for the Chorus by emailing the following to tpsc06@gmail.com. (Materials should be received no less than two weeks before a scheduled on-site audition date. TPSC cannot guarantee that materials received after that date can be scheduled for an audition.)
            A.)  Email a brief note of introduction, highlighting your singing and other musical experience and training. 
            B.)  Attach a brief audio or video sample, or include a YouTube link to a video of yourself singing alone.
                 -  You may submit a recording in any digital format, no longer than 4 minutes in length, recorded using a video camera, your computer camera, or even your phone's camera. The quality only needs to be of sufficient quality to reasonably represent your voice. Make sure your voice can be heard clearly on the recording.  
                 -  Perform an art song, aria, folk song, or hymn (not pop, jazz or Broadway songs) in any language, with or without accompaniment.
                 ​​-  Perform in the vocal range for which you wish to be considered in the Chorus. (e.g. very high for Soprano 1, very low for Bass 2). 
            C.) Complete the Prospective Member Information Form at the same time you email your video submission. 

  2. The Chorus Master will review the submission, and will extend invitations for on-site auditions to qualified singers.

  3. During a 10-15 minute on-site audition, singers will be asked to perform a prepared solo, sight sing and to demonstrate their voice in simple vocalizing exercises. A professional pianist is provided during the audition to play the piano part of any vocal solo.

  4. The Chorus Master will re-hear members of the Chorus each year at his discretion.
