Seattle Men’s Chorus has announced auditions for new members ahead of its 2026 season. Auditions will take place on Saturday, January 3 and Saturday, January 10, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. All prospective singers are required to register online in advance, with specific audition details distributed by email.

New members selected through the audition process will participate in the Chorus’s spring programming, including WICKED WIZ OF OZ, running from April 19 through May 18 with performances in Seattle, Tacoma, Everett, and Bellingham. The season will also include SING ALONG, SEATTLE!, a Pride Month concert and audience sing-along scheduled for June 14 in Seattle.

Seattle Men’s Chorus performs year-round, including its annual holiday concerts, most recently HOLLY JOLLY JINGLE: SEATTLE MEN’S HOLIDAY SHOW, which runs December 5–23. The ensemble is known for combining classic repertoire and contemporary music with choreography, theatrical presentation, and large-scale production values.

Rehearsal commitments for chorus members include Monday evening rehearsals throughout the concert cycle, as well as at least one Saturday rehearsal per program.

“Making music with the Seattle Men’s Chorus is a gift that I get all year,” said Artistic Director Paul Caldwell. “To be a part of this amazing group of people is very special. I look forward to including as many members as we can.”
