Columbus Symphony Chorus to Hold Auditions 1/4

The Columbus Symphony Chorus will hold auditions on Tuesday, January 4, for vocalists to participate in Columbus Symphony performances of Verdi's Requiem on March 11, 12, and 13, at the Ohio Theatre. Auditionees should contact Chorus Master Ronald Jenkins through the Columbus Symphony web site to schedule an audition time. Interested parties can visit www.columbussymphony.com, and click on the "Auditions" link at the bottom of the page.

Each audition will last 8-10 minutes and consist of the following:

1. The auditionee will sing a prepared piece of classical music to demonstrate voice and musicality. An accompanist is provided. Auditionees should bring a copy of the music for the pianist and a copy for the chorus conductor to follow, as well as for themselves. Memorization is not necessary.

2. Each person will be given ear-training/testing (repeating intervals) and be asked to vocalize.

3. Each person will be asked to sight-read, often a Bach chorale.

Auditionees will be notified by letter the following week.
