Join the Chorus

Join a dedicated group, united by a shared passion.

 

Our chorus is founded on a sense of community and a commitment to excellence. We are a hard-working group of singers, united by a passion for choral music and the desire to share the arts with others. Because we believe in the power of music to transform lives, we hold ourselves to high standards—but we know the rewards of the work are even higher.

Auditioning for the chorus

Join our chorus and become a member of a close-knit group dedicated to providing excellent and joyful music to our community. Auditions are held prior to each concert segment and are scheduled by appointment only.

Auditions typically consist of the following, with an accompanist present:

  • Vocalizing to determine range and voice part

  • A brief rhythmic sight-singing excerpt

  • A brief melodic sight-singing excerpt

  • Singing a prepared piece of your choosing, or a familiar song
