Come audition and be a part of an amazing concert season with the Houston Choral Society!

Auditions consist of the following:‍ ‍

Vocalization to hear your upper and lower ranges
Pitch-memory exercises
Sight-reading excerpt
Prepared piece of your choosing (aria, art song, hymn, etc.) - Please bring a copy for the provided accompanist

‍ ‍

Auditions are for new membership (current membership does not need to re-audition).

Details:
Auditions and rehearsals are held at Tallowood Baptist Church Choral Hall. Regular rehearsals are held every Monday evening from 7:00 PM to 9:15 PM, unless announced otherwise. Members are expected to attend all rehearsals unless extenuating circumstances arise. Additionally, there may be dress, technical, orchestra, and/or sectional rehearsals held before a performance, usually on Thursdays, to fine-tune the concert. ‍

Auditions will be performed in front of an audition panel, including the artistic director and section directors.

‍ ‍

We are a warm, friendly and welcoming group ranging across all ages, professions, and backgrounds. We are also a community with a wide range of musical experience. It is this diversity which has allowed us to thrive for so many years, and we are always ready to accept the refreshing input of new membership. We hope you consider auditioning for HCS! We would love to have you!
