Audition FAQ

Q: What piece should I audition with? Are you looking for a particular style?

A: The choir has a diverse repertoire; therefore you can sing any genre from classical to pop. What matters the most is how you sound, so choose a song that best reflects your voice.

Q: How many spaces are you looking to fill?

A: It all depends on how many singers are returning to the choir each season. Additionally, we need to have a balance of parts.

Q: Is sight reading mandatory?

A: Sight reading skills are required for women, unless you are a strong soloist. We have limited availability for Sopranos and Altos, and need to keep a balance between all of the sections, so only those with strong skills will be considered. These requirements can be relaxed for either Tenors or Basses.

Q: When will I be notified about my audition results?

A: We let everyone know the results after the final day of auditions.

Q: When do you perform?

A: We have two main concerts per year: the first Saturday and Sunday in June, and the first Saturday and Sunday in December. We also have other exciting gigs that come up throughout the year and perform as we are called upon.

Q: What is your concert attire? Do you wear robes?

A: The choir wears all black. No, we do not wear robes.

Q: I haven’t sung in a choir or taken voice lessons before. Will I be good enough to make the choir?

A: Generally, most of our singers have choral or solo experience. If you have any questions regarding your abilities, you can always take a voice lesson from our director, Sue Fink, to see where you stand. She can be reached at 310-397-3193.

Q: Do your singers get paid?

A: We are a non-profit organization; therefore the singers do not get paid.

Q: Are there any choir fees or dues?

A: Yes, all singers pay dues. The amount is $245 per season. (there are 2 seasons per year). Payment arrangements can be made on the first night of rehearsals with the business manager.

There are a lot of logistical responsibilities for both rehearsals and concert production, and we require all members to help with those responsibilities.

Q: When and where do you rehearse?

A: We rehearse on Thursday nights from 7:30pm to 10:00pm at St. Andrews Lutheran Church in West Los Angeles. Chamber and other small groups rehearse on Sunday afternoon or evenings.
