The Civic Chorale will hold auditions for new members on Thursday, January 17 in the choir room of Munsey Memorial United Methodist Church, where the group rehearses. The Chorale will present a program of secular and sacred American choral music in late March ranging from the Federal era to the 20th century. Later in the spring season, the chorale will prepare for a series of recording sessions which will result in the choir’s first publicly released CD album.
The Chorale anticipates openings in all four voice parts, especially low basses, and seeks singers with good sight reading skills who love choral music. Interested singers should contact the conductor, David Hendricksen, at (423) 247-1147 or by email at <conductordavid@embarqmail.com> in order to schedule an audition appointment time for January 17. Auditions are private and short (about 15 minutes), and involve singing a familiar piece, sight reading, and some simple vocal exercises to check pitch and dynamic range, control of vibrato and general vocal production.
For further information about the Chorale or the audition process, visit the Chorale’s web site (www.thecivicchorale.org) or contact the conductor as indicated above.
