We’re inviting those who will sing with the main choir in 2026 to audition for the Chamber Choir to sing Dvorak’s Mass in D major on Saturday 16 May 2026. We’ll have a workshop in the Spring to get to know each other and the music, so that you’ll have time to work on your part on your own, ready for when rehearsals start in April. There will be 5 rehearsals, mainly on Thursdays but we’re also planning a longer Saturday rehearsal. Please note that there will be a chamber choir subs towards rehearsal and concert costs.

We’re excited to be planning chamber choir for 2026, so do get in touch! Auditions will be held on Saturday 31 January 2026 and will apply to everyone, even if you have sung in Chamber Choir before.

The purpose is to assess your tone, basic intonation and rhythm, to confirm your voice part, and to ensure a good blend of voices. The test will last about ten minutes and will be taken by our Chamber Choir Director, Jordan Theis. During the test there will be a warm up and you will be asked to sing a short piece of music of your own choosing and do a few exercises such as sight-reading or repeating a phrase. Jordan is happy to accompany your piece (with a bit of notice!) and don’t worry, if you can’t think of what to prepare we can suggest some sections from the Christmas concert to sing. For more information and to arrange an audition, please email us. Let us know you name, your voice part and if you prefer to audition in the morning or afternoon (we’ll try our best to accommodate your preference).
