Next audition date: July (date
TBD)
We are looking for qualified singers who can accurately prepare
music independently, sing with good intonation and blend, read music
well, and commit to a significant number of rehearsals and concerts
during our multi-concert season.
We rehearse and perform 3 to 5 programs each year, typically from
September through May. In general, there are 4 to 12 rehearsals
preceding each concert, plus additional rehearsals in concert weeks.
Rehearsals are held at St. James' Episcopal Church in West Hartford
on Monday nights from 7:15 – 10:00pm.
Interested candidates should have choral experience, be able to sight read music, and provide
a letter of recommendation from a conductor or teacher who can speak to the candidate's experience
in choral singing. Candidates are asked to prepare two contrasting pieces. Other components
of the audition will include some vocalizing to identify range and timbre; short, melodic
fragments to be repeated by memory; and brief tests of sight-reading ability and learning
speed. An accompanist will be provided.
