DESCRIPTION:
The WomenSing Audition
Prospective singers are auditioned/interviewed by the artistic director. Singers will be asked to vocalize, sing scales a cappella, sight-read a short passage, and present a prepared piece (art song, aria, folk song, or choral excerpt). An accompanist is provided, so please bring an extra copy of the music. Each audition/interview takes approximately twenty minutes. A prior appointment is required to audition–no walk-ins, please.
Rehearsals and Performances
Rehearsals are held Wednesday evenings in Lafayette from 7:15 to 9:45, beginning the first Wednesday after Labor Day. WomenSing’s season runs from September to June. There are two concert series (two performances in each series) per season, early December and late May/early June, with a special event in March.
Concert venues are located throughout the East Bay. Some recent venues include the Green Music Center in Sonoma County, St. Mary’s Chapel in Moraga, Lafayette Orinda Presbyterian Church, St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Berkeley, and the First Congregational Church of Berkeley.
