~ Recruitment open for potential new members in all sections. ~
The County Classic Chorale is
open to accepting new members who wish to join, provided they satisfy the musical director as to their vocal competency and pay sessional dues.
To this end, interested persons may be invited to participate in an ‘audition’, which involves singing a few vocal exercises and some scales, sight reading a simple piece of music and singing a prepared piece. Auditions are not intended to be intimidating and may be conducted in a group setting with other membership candidates and/or members of the Chorale.
An application can be downloaded (see below). The number of singers in the Chorale averages between 35-50 and as such, the balance between sections is an important factor determining whether auditioned candidates are invited to join.
Sessional dues are currently $65 per session, i.e. the fall/winter session and the spring session.
Music is loaned to all singers for the duration of each session and must be returned after the final concert of the session.
Rehearsals are on Monday evenings from September to December (fall session) and January to April (spring session). Sectional rehearsals are scheduled from time to time on days and at times convenient to the most singers.
Regular attendance and working on music between rehearsals is expected. Members are encouraged not to miss more than three rehearsals per session. Exceptions can be made upon discussion with and the approval of the Chorale’s Director.
