QUALIFICATIONS
To request an audition, please complete the
QUALIFICATIONS
The Kentucky Bach Choir is a professional 24-voice chamber choir. We seek highly skilled singer-musicians with advanced classical choral training and experience, outstanding musicianship, music-reading ability, foreign language diction skills, capable of singing in multiple styles (including without vibrato), and a keen ability for proper intonation, balance, and phrasing within an ensemble.
AUDITION FORMAT
We hold new member auditions each fall for all voice parts, although there may not always be openings in each section every season. An accompanist will be provided.
Please prepare the following prior to your audition:
-
Sing m. 17-38 of the provided excerpt (tempo: dotted quarter = 56 bpm)
-
One classical solo of your choosing (art song, opera, or oratorio). Please bring a copy for the accompanist. A legato selection is strongly recommended. German language is preferred, but not required; those who do not sing in German will be asked to read a brief passage in German.
In addition, singers will be vocalized to determine range and asked to sing several sight-reading passages. The audition lasts approximately 20 minutes.
EXPECTATIONS
Singers who are accepted into the Kentucky Bach Choir are expected to learn their music in advance and attend all scheduled rehearsals and performances. Exceptions must be approved in advance by the Artistic Director.
REHEARSAL & PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE
We perform two concerts each season (Fall/Winter and Spring). There is an eight-week rehearsal period prior to each concert. Rehearsals are Tuesdays from 7:00-9:00 pm at First Presbyterian Church, 174 N. Mill Street, Lexington, KY.
