Auckland Choral is as lively as ever!
Singing great music and finding satisfaction is achieving something where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts has kept Auckland Choral vibrantly alive since 1855. Auckland Choral is privileged to perform alongside New Zealand's finest soloists and orchestras in concert in the Auckland Town Hall. All members of the choir derive immeasurable pleasure from working intensely at rehearsals and getting passionately involved in the music they sing. A great blend of community enthusiasm and professional polish makes this a very special organisation. All members are proud to be a part of Auckland Choral.
If you are interested in auditioning for Auckland Choral, please contact Pauline Logger-de Roos.
Here is some information which you may find helpful:
We rehearse on Wednesdays, 7:30pm to 9:45pm at Diocesan Junior School Hall, Margot Street, Epsom. Our first rehearsal for 2012 is on 25 January.
Each singing member is expected to attend at least 80% of all rehearsals in order to sing in a concert.
Auditioning for Auckland Choral
If you would like to audition for Auckland Choral, the following is the process involved:
Contact the choir administrator Pauline Logger-de Roos. Contact details are on this website, below.
You will be invited to attend and sing with the choir for a couple of rehearsals. This will enable you to find out if the choir’s repertoire and method of working is right for you.
If you are then keen to audition, you will be given a preliminary “voice check” (a short, informal audition) to gauge your current level of vocal ability and suitability for the choir, and to confirm where your voice sits best in the choir.
You might then be invited to sing in the next concert, assuming you are able to fulfil the minimum attendance requirements for rehearsals.
Following your first performance with the choir you will be given a full audition. This will involve singing a prepared piece, some aural tests (singing back played notes, pitching notes in chords, and clapping rhythms), and sight reading. On passing the full audition your membership will be confirmed.
Further information will be given to you when you join the Choir.
