Audition time!

It's a new year, and that means auditions!

Cantilena, my own group, is holding auditions for the next two Mondays. Come join us for rehearsal; auditions will be held afterwards. I'll do a brief range check, a pitch-matching exercise, a little sight-reading, and then we'll have you sing either the selection of your choice or "America the Beautiful." More details on our website! We are looking especially for high sopranos or low altos.

I have also received a special request from a friend who sings with Chorus pro Musica to post about their auditions. They have added another audition date, Saturday January 9. Auditions are by appointment between 1 and 4 pm, and there are openings for all voice parts except soprano. Auditions will be at Old South Church in Boston. Information on how to schedule an audition, and what the audition will entail can be found at their website.

For more information, check out the Greater Boston Choral Consortium's audition page, or the Boston Globe's online calendar (check the classical music listings.)
