Audition Information

The Anglican Singers invites singers in all voice parts, including Trebles, to audition for our 2008- 2009 Season.

We especially welcome committed, young singers as Trebles. The Anglican Singers provide a mentored opportunity for young singers to extend their music skills and to become acquainted with the choral repertoire of the English tradition.

Auditions are by appointment only and comprise a straightforward evaluation of musicality, voice quality, range, and basic sight-reading. Singers should select a short piece (or portion of a piece), preferably from the classical choral repertoire, and be prepared to sing it in their own vocal range. An extra copy of your selection will be required in advance of the audition. All auditions will be accompanied.

Individuals interested in auditioning for The Anglican Singers should call 860.705.3037 or

• The Anglican Singers is a select, independently organized performing arts organization dedicated to perpetuating and presenting the English choral tradition as found in the Anglican service of Choral Evensong. No affiliation with the Anglican or any other church is required for membership. The only prerequsite is a love of the type and style of music that we sing.
