Auditions

Thank you for your interest in singing with Resonance!

Our annual concert season consists of three performances – two summer concerts held the second weekend of August (preceded by 6-7 weekly rehearsals, a retreat, and a recording session), and a Christmas concert held in early December (preceded by 3-4 rehearsals). Because of this generally fast pace, we seek singers who bring not only talent and experience, but a willingness and ability to practice at home, and come to rehearsals prepared.  Musical independence is a key ingredient to being successful with Resonance.

Each year we seek new members of all voice parts (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass), keeping in mind that as a primarily a cappella ensemble, acceptance is based heavily on balance between sections, the roster of returning singers, and the requirements of that season’s repertoire.
