This is your chance to showcase your vocal talents with the River City Chorale!

The audition will take approximately 10 minutes and consists of three simple parts:

Part 1 - Prepared Excerpt You will be expected to prepare and perform measures 1-21 of Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus. Sheet music is included on our website as well as links to part recordings and a sample recording to aid in the learning process.

Part 2 - Solo You will perform a short, 1-2 minute memorized solo piece from any musical genre or style of your choosing. The selection can range from an operatic aria or musical theater number to a jazz standard or pop song - anything that best demonstrates your vocal ability. The solo should be performed with an accompaniment (either piano or a pre-recorded music track). An accompanist will be available if needed. If using our accompanist, please bring a copy of your sheet music for him to use during your audition. If you are using a pre-recorded music track please have the audio file properly cued and ready to play. If assistance is needed in selecting a piece, please contact David Vanderbout (Artistic Director) and he is happy to support.

Part 3 - Vocal Assessment There will be a short vocal assessment of range, ear training, and reading ability, for which no preparation is needed.
