newChoir welcomes enquiries from competent singers with choral experience who can offer:
-
reasonable sight-reading ability
-
willingness to work on the music between rehearsals
-
regular rehearsal attendance (normally a minimum of six out of eight evening rehearsals, plus the afternoon rehearsal on concert day)
-
commitment to the choir and its development
Auditions take place at the end of a rehearsal in an SATB quartet, and consist of singing a piece from the repertoire practised that evening. Our musical director listens for auditionees’ tuning, sense of rhythm, vocal timbre, and ability to hold a line on their own.
Membership costs £15 for the year plus a £50 termly fee
Our next concert is Saturday 16 June at St Mary Magdelen's church, 9 Magdelen St, Oxford, OX1 3AR.
