The Bach Collegium San Diego is pleased to announce OPEN CHORUS AUDITIONS. Although the primary BCSD chorus roster for 2010-2011 has been set, specific projects may require substitutes and/or choral augmentation. We encourage all singers to audition!

If you are interested in scheduling an audition, please REPLY to bachcollegiumsandiego@gmail.com stating your preferred day. BCSD will assign a specific time.

OPEN CHORUS AUDITIONS
Monday, 30 August (6-8pm)
Monday, 13 September (6-8pm)
Location: St Peter's Episcopal Church, Del Mar (334 14th Street, Del Mar)
Note: If neither of these times are available, it may be possible to schedule an alternate time.

WHAT TO EXPECT/PREPARE: Your audition will last approximately 10 minutes. Please bring two copies of your résumé (no headshot necessary). BCSD will provide an accompanist, though you are welcome to bring your own. Please prepare 2 selections from the Baroque period. You may be asked to sight-read a brief passage from this period. Please provide the accompanist with a readable score in the proper key. Although BCSD performs at A=415 Hz, auditions will be with piano at A=440. In the case of da capo arias, you may be asked to sing only the A and B sections without the da capo. If you choose to ornament (not required), please do so in the current style of historically informed performance practice.
