Auditions for Bach Society Chorus The Bach Society of Minnesota occasionally uses a full choir (similar in size to what Bach would have known; less than 20 singers). This season two of our concerts will use the choir extensively. Each section will have one paid professional. The remainder of the sections will consist of volunteers. There are presentlya few remaining spots. If you're interested in auditioning, please contact us and we'll set up a time for you. Below are the details. Please check your calendar against the performance/rehearsal schedule listed below. We are willing to be slightly flexible with regard to one or maybe two absences from rehearsals. But in general we need everyone every time. Please fill out the form below and we'll contact you with specific audition times. If you'd like more information on the music to be sung, click on "Concerts" above. There will be minimal but sufficient rehearsals before each concert. All singers will be sent music ahead of time and will be expected to come to the first rehearsal with all their notes learned. We want to spend time on music, not notes. Performance pitch will be A=415 (one half step lower than modern pitch). Auditions may be done at A=440. Works will be sung in their original language; mostly German. Rehearsals will be held in the churches where the concerts are as well as at Olivet Congregational Church in St. Paul. Audition Details |
