Contact Membership Chair Nancy Hickman by email or call (925) 899-5050. Auditions are held the first two weeks each season in mid August and mid January.
What is the Chorale looking for in singers?
DWC seeks team players who will commit to our high artistic standards and regular rehearsal attendance. Singers must be able to maintain pitch and learn the music in a timely fashion. Some sight-reading ability is preferred, but not required.
How do I prepare for the audition?
Prospective singers are auditioned/interviewed by the Music Director. Singers might be asked to vocalize, sing scales a cappella (without accompaniment), match pitches, and present a prepared piece of their choice; the Membership Chair will advise you on the specifics. Each audition takes approximately ten minutes. Auditions are held the first two weeks of rehearsal each fall and spring season.
How do I know which part I sing?
During your audition, the Music Director will work with you to determine your vocal range and the part you might sing.
Do members have to re-audition each season?
Continuing members do not have to re-audition. Past members who return after taking a break of more than one season may be asked to re-audition.
When will I know the results of my audition?
Potential members typically are notified within 24 hours, but always before the following rehearsal.
