Audition for the Cape Breton Chorale!
The Cape Breton Chorale turns 48 this year! The 2021-2022 season will begin Thursday September 2, 2021 and continue until April 30, 2022*
We welcome auditions from singers of any experience level who find that they fit most of the following criteria:
• Some experience singing harmony, either in choral settings or in productions.
• Understanding of some basics of vocal technique or demonstrated vocal confidence in
your audition performance.
• Openness to learning different styles of music in an ensemble setting.
Assets to the Chorale include:
• Commitment to rehearsals and performances.
• Willingness to study and learn concert music outside of rehearsal – independently or with
rehearsal aids.
• Openness to learning new skills and expanding upon existing skills (vocal, aural, rhythm,
reading, movement).
For your Cape Breton Chorale audition:
• We'll send you a short choral excerpt to learn in advance of the audition.
• Please prepare one or two selections showcasing your best performance.
• An accompanist will be provided, or you may bring your own accompanist.
• We will work with you in reading a passage of music, and test your aural skills. We will also check your range with some simple vocal patterns
Auditions are in Sydney, NS, between August 16 and September 1, 2021.
