Concert Choir

 

Concert Choir audition schedule:

These auditions are friendly and will include a chat about your musical/choral background and interests. Here’s what’s involved:

• Range/tessitura test: You will be asked to sing simple patterns throughout your range to determine vocal colour and placement within the choir.
• Solo: Own choice. Short excerpt of any piece, verse and chorus a capella.
• Sight-singing: You will be asked to sight-sing your part in a piece of choral music.
• Test-piece: Please prepare your voice part of the test piece “Sure On This Shining Night” by composer Morten Lauridsen.

Note: choose the part that is best suited to your choral voice rather than your solo voice, that is, the part you are comfortable singing for longer periods of time in a limited range.
