What really sets Carolina Voices apart from the other local choral groups is the extraordinary spirit of its volunteer singers who provide their talent, time and energy to share their passion for music with others. Auditions for Carolina Voices' choirs are held each year in January and August.
Audition Requirements:
Candidates are asked to provide
their own sheet music and to sing a thoroughly-prepared musical piece of
their choice which shows their vocal quality, range and artistic
expression. Individuals auditioning for Festival Singers should prepare
an additional song or aria in a language other than English. Singers
should bring 2 copies of their sheet music. An accompanist will be provided. Singers may
also sing a cappella.
No
taped accompaniments, please. Auditions may also include range check, sight
reading and tonal memory exercises.
In addition, Carolina Voices requires the following commitments of its
singers:
Musical Diligence – Members are encouraged to bring a cassette
recorder to tape rehearsals for review between rehearsals. All music is
memorized for performances. Sheet music is provided for all concerts but
must be returned to the music library in good condition after each show.
Attendance – Members are expected to be present for all rehearsals,
all choral weekend rehearsals, and performances. Any unavoidable absences
should be reported as soon as possible, preferably before the
rehearsal/event.
Financial Support – Membership dues are $50 for the fall season and
$50 for the spring season. Singers may elect to establish a payment plan,
if needed.
Ticket Sales – Carolina Voices’ singers are strongly encouraged to
ask friends, family and colleagues to purchase tickets to performances.
Singers have first chance at the best seats in the house. Incentives and
friendly competitions among choir members are offered to push sales for each
performance.
Rehearsal Schedule – All regular rehearsals are held at Shalom Hall at Myers Park Baptist Church,
1900 Queens Road, Charlotte, NC 28207. For questions, contact the Carolina Voices office at 704.374.1564.
