Who can join?

Singers starting in high school

 

What are the requirements?

• Ability to sing in tune and "match" pitches
• Read or be able to follow written choral music
• Ability to blend with other singers in an ensemble
• Commitment to attending rehearsals, learning music, and participating in an organization of people who love music and singing

 

How is it done?

Members of the Chorale will greet you, answer questions, and pass out registration forms.  The music director will ask you to sing, match some pitches and intervals from the piano and sight-read a simple traditional tune (such as a hymn or folk song); he will listen to your voice to determine which choral part you will be most comfortable singing.

 

What if I can't get to the scheduled auditions?

Potential members who cannot arrange to be at the scheduled audition sessions will be given the opportunity to "sit in" at a Monday rehearsal and have their audition when rehearsal is over.

 

 

 

What happens when I'm accepted?

• The first rehearsal is the Monday after Labor Day in the Mary McCarthy Room at Norwalk City Hall/Concert Hall.
• The rehearsal begins at 7:30 p.m. and runs until approximately 10:00 p.m.
• Chorale members will greet you and get you seated in your section.
• Besides joining in the rehearsal, you will be asked to pay an annual membership fee, currently $125, purchase from the Chorale (or otherwise provide) your own music, and help sell tickets to the three regularly-scheduled Chorale concerts.
• Ask about our scholarship program!
   

What else does the Fairfield County Chorale do?
