APPLICATION & AUDITION(updated April 2025)
|
Experienced singers over the age of 18 who can read music are invited to audition (high school graduates not yet age 18 may be considered on a case-by-case basis). All members of the Chorus are volunteers.
Singers who are selected for the Chorus are expected to participate in all rehearsals and performances of the season, so please thoroughly review the season’s calendar before applying, noting weekly rehearsals, all performances, and all dress rehearsals. If you know that you have major conflicts with the schedule (ie. an entire concert run or any dress rehearsals) you should not apply to audition for the Chorus this season.
HOW TO REQUEST AN AUDITION Indicate your desire to audition for the Chorus by completing the following no less than four days before in-person auditions are to be held. In brief, the process includes writing an email, sending a simple recording, and filling out a form, as follows: 1. Complete the Prospective Member Information Form no more than 48 hours before sending your email and your audio/video submission (steps #2 and #3). 2. Email a brief note of introduction to [email protected], highlighting your singing, training, and other relevant musical experience. You may attach a resume, but that is not required. 3. Attach to the same email a brief audio or video sample, or include a link to a YouTube 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. It does not need to have high production value, but it does need to be of sufficient quality to reasonably represent your classical solo voice. Make sure your voice can be heard clearly on the recording.
