Join the Hartford Chorale for an exciting 2011-2012 season including Ralph Vaughan Williams' Hodie and Carl Orff's Carmina Burana with the Hartford Symphony Orchestra. We are looking for qualified singers who can accurately and independently prepare music, sing with good intonation and blend, read music well, and commit to a significant number of rehearsals and concerts during our multi-concert season. Rehearsals are held on Monday nights from 7:15-10:00 p.m. at St. James's Church in West Hartford. Interested candidates should have choral experience and must provide a letter of recommendation from a conductor or teacher who can speak to the candidate's experience in choral singing. Candidates will be provided with specific musical excerpts to prepare. 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.
You will need to choose 3 out of the 5 excerpts in which to sing your voice part while the accompaniment is played:
