Auditions will be virtual for the 2023-2024 Season.

​

The audition for the Main Ensemble/Choir ♯ will consist of two parts:

 

1) Singing an ascending and descending vocal exercise: You can choose between "High Voice" and "Low Voice".(Soprano and Tenor, we recommend high voice; Bass and Alto, we recommend low voice). If you are unsure of your voice type, give both sets of exercises a listen through, and select whichever you feel most comfortable in. This part of our audition is to help us understand your vocal range, where you sound your best, and where we might seat you in choir this year.

 

2) Singing a Solo: This can be a former choir piece, a favourite song, music from a past voice exam, anything you love singing! It can be in any language, length, and in any style or tradition of music-making.

​

As you approach recording your audition, there are a few things to keep in mind:

• Choristers are asked to submit (a) video recording(s) of the highest quality available to them (if you have an external microphone - USB Mic, on your headphones/earphones, etc. consider using this to help improve the audio quality).

• Try to film your video submission during the day if possible, as natural lighting will make it easier for us to observe you singing!

• If you would prefer to break up your audition into a video of your solo and a video of your sight-singing exercises, that is totally fine. please ensure that all your videos are either shared in one drive folder, or that you include all links in your audition form.

• In the folders on this page you will find the .mp3 files for each warm up, please sing along with this file on your audition video (you will be playing these out loud on a device secondary to the one you are recording with).

• You will submit your video(s) via link (drive, dropbox, mymedia, vimeo, youtube unlisted video, wevideo, etc.) that you will provide the conducting team in your audition form below. Please ensure that your videos are viewable until 3 days after audition deadline.

​

Audition deadline is January 22nd 11:59pm EST.
