Audition information:
Should you be interested in joining the Chorale, please call 703-239-2180 so that a Chorale sectional leader may get in touch with you and provide you with further details.
During auditions our Chorale Director, Robert Webb will check your musical range following the first rehearsal for the season (late August/early September) and first rehearsal for the calendar year (early January). These sessions are conducted by Mr. Webb playing the piano and having you perform some basic scale exercises in St. Mark’s lounge. You are encouraged to attend those initial full rehearsals prior to the audition session. Only those desiring to be soloists need to come with a prepared piece. Please publicize this with anyone who may be interested in joining us.
