Choral experience and the ability to read music are preferred. Fall auditions are currently being scheduled on several evenings starting the week of Monday Aug 27, 2018. If you are interested, please fill out the audition request form on the website before September 3, 2018. All auditions are by appointment only and consist of two meetings: 1. An appointment with the Music Director for approximately 15 minutes that includes vocalization, pitch-matching, and sight-reading exercises. Singers are also asked to prepare a song of their choice to demonstrate vocal quality, technique and musicality which will be sung without piano accompaniment. The song can be a simple hymn or folk song; it need not be a formal aria or art song. 2. The second meeting will give singers a better sense of a Cantilena rehearsal. Singers who successfully complete the initial audition will be invited to sing with the full ensemble in the first rehearsal of the semester. Formal invitations for membership will be extended based on blend and balance at this rehearsal. Singers may e-mail Music Director Jennifer Kane directly at search@cantilena.org. Cantilena Women’s Chorale is comprised of singers from a great variety of occupational backgrounds and levels of training; nonetheless, members take their charge of excellence seriously, sharing a passion for music. Cantilena prepares two major programs per year; rehearsing from September to May on Monday evenings from 7:30-10:00 p.m. at First Parish Unitarian Universalist in Arlington.
