Auditions !
Interested in
singing with us?
Auditions are scheduled with the Artistic Director. See Reply form below to schedule a visit.
They take place after Monday's Open Rehearsal at First Parish Unitarian Universalist of Arlington;
630 Massachusetts Ave; Arlington, MA at the beginning of each semester - September and January.
(The building is fully accessible. The location is served by public transit - see location page)
Our process is friendly and low stress. Auditions take approximately 15 minutes and consist of vocalization, pitch-matching, and sight-reading exercises. Singers may sing "My Country T'is of Thee" or prepare a song of their choice to demonstrate vocal quality, technique, and musicality. This song need not be a formal aria or art song: it can be a simple hymn or folk song. It will be performed without accompaniment as our accompanist will not be present.
Auditionees will be invited to sing in a rehearsal with the group. Invitations for membership will be extended based on the results of both the audition and rehearsal.
