What to Prepare for your Audition

The Symphonic Choir is our primary large ensemble that performs in most concerts; about 115 people (rehearsals Mondays 7:30-9:30pm). Please be prepared to sing either My Country, ‘Tis of Thee (PDF) or The First Noel (PDF) accompanied by our pianist (we will provide hard-copy printouts). The audition will also include vocalizing, sight reading of music, and other choral skill evaluation.

The Chamber Choir is a select ensemble of about 35 people that performs for specific events. Advanced musicianship, strong music reading skills, and the ability to learn music independently are necessary. ​

Those who would like to be considered for the Chamber Choir should inform the audition panel at the audition, and prepare, in addition to the Symphonic Choir requirements, the following:

1. a solo (or solo excerpt) of approximately two-minutes (bring a copy for the pianist if you would like accompaniment) and;

2. the following musical excerpts:
