Audition for The Masterwork Chorus 2010-2011 Season
Our season will include: November 14 and January 30 Spanish/Latin American Music December 14 and 19 Handel's Messiah May Mendelssohn's Elijah
Rehearsals are every Wednesday night from 7:30 to 10 pm at the Xavier Center at the College of Saint Elizabeth in Convent Station.
We welcome new singers. Please call Becky Adams, Membership Chair, at 908-420-6869 or email her at beckyb491@gmail.com The audition is an opportunity for the Music Director and the Chorus staff to meet prospective members and answer questions.
The Music Director is the sole assessor of vocal abilities.
The Music Director listens for a healthily-produced, resonant tone which is even in quality throughout the range. The candidate should be able to sing pure vowels and to vary the volume without distorting vowel, pitch, or tone quality. Strong rhythmic and pitch skills are vital. Strong sight-reading ability is a must. After the audition, the Membership Chair will contact the prospective members with the results. Upon successful completion of the audition, the new member then has one week to submit payment of dues based on the established payment schedule. We encourage prospective members to discuss our dues structure with the Membership chair prior to or during the audition process.
The Masterwork Chorus rehearses every Wednesday evening from 7:30pm to 10:00pm beginning in early September and concluding in May. Rehearsals are held in Xavier Center, on the campus of the College of Saint Elizabeth, 2 Convent Road, Convent Station, New Jersey (click here for directions). Attendance at rehearsal is mandatory and absences should be discussed with the Membership chair and the Music Director.
