Harmonium Choral Society will be conducting auditions for a limited number of openings in all voice parts for experienced singers with good sight-reading ability. Auditions for the 2023-2024 concert season will be held by appointment starting August 26th going through September 5th. Auditions will be held at Grace Church in Madison, 4 Madison Ave. at Kings Rd., in the choir room with Artistic Director Dr. Anne Matlack.
Singers should be experienced choral singers and sight-readers. Admission is highly selective. The conductor will vocalize you and test your range, ear, musicianship, and sight-reading. A prepared solo is requested to show off your strengths in something you know—it need not be long or complex—art song, hymn, folk song, music theater, or choral excerpt.
If accepted, rehearsals begin in early September and are held at Grace Church in Madison on Sunday nights. There will be one Saturday morning rehearsal per concert season, and Tuesday/Friday dress rehearsals before each concert. Harmonium schedules three major concerts per season - December, March, and June - as well as a Chamber Singers concert and special appearances throughout the year.
Harmonium concert soloists are usually selected from the chorus’s 100-voice membership, over one-third of whom are professional musicians and/or music educators. Members are also invited to audition for the Harmonium Chamber Singers, a 25-voice vocal ensemble selected from the full Harmonium chorus.
