Cape Ann Symphony to Hold Auditions for Chorus Vocalists
Auditions will take place at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Lanesville, the chorus's rehearsal home.
Cape Ann Symphony Chorus Director Brittany Betts has announced auditions for singers to perform in The Cape Ann Symphony Chorus in two Cape Ann Symphony Concerts during the orchestra's Diamond Anniversary Season. Cape Ann Symphony's wildly popular annual Holiday Pops Concert on November 28 at 2:00 pm and 7:30 pm and November 30 at 2:00 pm features The Cape Ann Symphony Chorus. The 75th Season Finale Concert on May 9 at 2:00 pm features Beethoven's 9th Symphony and a world premiere symphony from internationally acclaimed Gloucester based composer Robert Bradshaw written especially for the Diamond Anniversary Season.
Ms. Betts, entering her third season as CAS Chorus Director, leads the audition-based chorus. "Every two years we ask all current members, and any newcomers who would like to join the chorus, to audition. This gives new singers the opportunity to participate in the chorus - keeping it fresh and exciting for all involved. I am especially hoping that tenors and basses on the North Shore (and beyond) will audition this year!" Choral Director Betts is looking for singers of all ages from high school and up and all vocal ranges to sing with Cape Ann Symphony during this special Diamond Anniversary Season. "I am so excited for the upcoming 75th Season, " says Betts, " the chorus has the opportunity to sing with CAS in two concerts - The Holiday Pops Concerts in November And the season-closing May concert, 75th Season Finale Concert featuring Beethoven's 9th Symphony. What a great CAS season to be a choral singer!"
Auditions will be held at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Lanesville, the rehearsal home of the CAS chorus on : Saturday, August 22 from 9am-1pm; Wednesday, August 26 from 4pm-7pm; and Saturday August 29 from 10am-2pm.
