You may audition to become a member of the Kalamazoo Singers, or you may sing with the Kalamazoo Singers Community Chorus without audition.
The Kalamazoo Singers attracts some of the finest voices in Southwest Michigan. Auditions occur at various times throughout each year, and include a piece from your repertoire, scales, and sight reading. An accompanist is provided. Auditions are recorded for anonymous and impartial review.
Auditions are scheduled for August 23, 2008. If you have an interest in auditioning for the Kalamazoo Singers, please e-mail our audition coordinator, or call our office at (269) 373-1769.
An audition is not necessary to sing with the Kalamazoo Singers Community Chorus for our large-scale works with the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra. Although the core of the Kalamazoo Singers is made up of people who have successfully auditioned for a position, the Kalamazoo Singers frequently draws upon a wider group of performers for large-scale works. Choruses of up to 180 people have performed Puccini's "Turandot" and "Madama Butterfly", the Verdi Requiem, and other major choral works with the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra.
It is the policy of the Kalamazoo Singers that rehearsals are a vital part of concert preparation, and that no more than two rehearsals may be missed in preparation for a concert. Missing more than two rehearsals will result in the singer being asked to not participate in the concert. Additionally, missing two consecutive concerts will result in the singer being required to re-audition.
