REQUIREMENTS
New members of the Chorus are selected by audition as openings in the Chorus allow. The Chorus is auditioning the following voice parts:
  • 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.
            A.)  Email a brief note of introduction, highlighting your singing, training, and other musical experience. 
            B.)  Attach a brief audio or video sample, or include a YouTube link to a video of yourself singing alone.
Due to some unexpected constraints in the availability of our on-site venue, this summer’s
auditions will be conducted entirely through video submission. 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 your phone's camera. It does not need to have high production value, but does need 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. Demonstrate your very best vocal quality in your recording, even if the “production value” of the recording is limited by your technology.
  • ​Demonstrate the range of your voice by singing a simple vocal pattern through your entire range. We recommend you sing a repeated pattern of Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-Fa-Mi-Re-Do (or similar pattern) on an “ah” vowel, beginning in the middle of your range and going to your highest and then down to your lowest good range.
  • It is important that you perform in and demonstrate the vocal range for which you wish to be considered in the Chorus. (e.g. a very high selection for Soprano 1 or Tenor 1, very low for Bass 2, etc.). Please note that the Chorus Master may choose to offer you a place in a different section if he feels this is where you can make the most positive contribution to the Chorus at this time.

                  C.) Complete the Prospective Member Information Form at the same time you email your video submission.

       2. The Chorus Master will review the submitted materials and will extend invitations based
on the video and information that has been provided.

       3. As in all years, membership for new members is probationary through the first season.
