Ready to Join Us?
There is no audition. If you're ready to commit to this year's performance, your first rehearsal is when you join the chorus.
Registration cards will be available at that first rehearsal for the information we need to organize the chorus.
We are especially looking for tenors and basses this year.
What We Ask of You
Learning and preparing Handel’s Messiah is a commitment, and it takes all of us doing our part. Rehearsals are where we learn the music together, but there’s only so much we can cover in one evening. During the week, each singer should spend some time with the music, reinforcing what we learned at rehearsal and preparing for what comes next.
You should be prepared to :
- attend rehearsals consistently
- practice between rehearsals
- come prepared to work
- learn your music and keep up with the rehearsal pace
- commit to performing on concert night
You don't need to audition, but you should be ready to take on the challenge.
