26th Season Open Auditions
Audition Information
The Mystic River Chorale welcomes singers from throughout the area to audition! Both new members and former members who were not regular dues-paying members in the past year must plan to sing for the Artistic Director for purposes of range, part assignment and standing position.
Auditions comprise a straightforward and non-threatening evaluation of musicality, voice quality, range, and music literacy. New singers should bring a piece of their choosing, and be prepared to sing it in their own vocal range. Please bring an extra copy of your selection as all auditions will be accompanied.
Membership in the Mystic River Chorale is based upon the needs of the Chorale and is at the absolute discretion of the Music Director and Board. Items considered in accepting singers to the Chorale are availability of places in the appropriate choral part, section and group choral balance, and size of the Chorale as set by the Board.
Individuals interested in auditioning should email the Chorus Manager to obtain an audition time or call (860) 460-1487 for additional information.
