The Audition Process
For singers interested in becoming members of the Portland Community Chorus, we hold auditions twice a year, pending open seats within the chorus. Auditions are scheduled with Artistic Director Camille Saucier. Please complete the Audition Request Form. You will be contacted by a chorus member to schedule your audition. All auditions take place at the Episcopal Church of Saint Mary, 43 Foreside Road, Falmouth, ME.
Auditions are individual and run approximately 15 minutes each. The audition process includes exercises to determine a singer's pitch, tone, ear and sight reading skills. A singer must demonstrate all of these qualities to be selected, but the most common reason for a singer to not qualify is a lack of or limited sight reading skills. Those who are not strong sight readers are encouraged to gain some experience in doing so before auditioning.
For singers who are interested in singing only for the Magic of Christmas Chorus, auditions with the Magic of Christmas Chorus Master are held in October, pending open seats.
