Join one of the most exciting and dynamic choral groups in Los Angeles! We're passionate about making great music and always on the lookout for more fantastic singers. Membership represents a significant commitment of time, including weekly Tuesday night rehearsals held at either Highlands Church in La Crescenta or at a location to be determined on the West Side (likely UCLA). If you participated in your collegiate chorus or have studied music, you're probably a good candidate. Firmly grounded choral musicians are encouraged to audition.

AUDITION FAQ's

Q) What voice parts are you looking for?
A) All parts!

Q) What kind of vocal training do you require your singers to have?
A) None, though the majority of our singers have received formal training at some point in time. Many are former music majors or sing semi-professionally outside the Chorale. All singers in the chorale have excellent musicianship that includes sight-reading, pitch and rhythmic abilities. 

Q) Do I need to have experience singing in a ensemble?
A) Yes, you should have previous experience singing in large or small groups. 

Q) How much time will be expected of me?
A) You will rehearse once weekly with the group. Outside of rehearsal, you will be expected to practice regularly in order to retain your music. 

Q) Do you do anything fun?
A) We think singing is fun! However, we also hold social gatherings and events including monthly post-rehearsal happy hours, restaurant fundraiser dinners, concert after-parties and other gatherings that build a sense of community and camaraderie within the chorale. Attendance is not required but it is encouraged!
