Our main concern is a beautiful, well produced voice with a highly developed sense of pitch sensitivity and musical sensibility, as well as advanced musical and choral skills, including accurate sight reading, the ability to blend the voice appropriately within an ensemble context, and vocal versatility and control.
Interested singers should send the following materials to be considered:
1. CV with all relevant solo and choral experience detailed
2. Electronic recordings of two solo arias or art songs in contrasting styles, with at least one drawn from the sacred or early repertoires. You may also include an additional recording of one-to-a-part ensemble singing where your voice is audible and transparent if you feel this reflects well. These recordings should demonstrate varying vocal weights, colors, flexibility, and dynamic control
3. An electronic recording of a demonstration of vocal range, with a vocal scale on a vowel of your choosing, throughout the most comfortable parts of your voice, with a dynamic and spin appropriate to a choral context
4. Link to personal website (if applicable)
