Audition Information
Rediscover
the fun of singing traditional choral music as well as new
arrangements with a decidedly theatrical style in ChoralSounds
Northwest, a 60+-member mixed adult chorus. Welcoming singers of
all ages from high school to retirement, CSN is truly a
community chorus, and provides a welcome musical home for folks
from all walks of life.
Singers who decide to join CSN will be asked to sing a short
excerpt from any song of their choice – with or without
accompaniment, in a private session with the conductor, to help
him place their voice in the chorus. Previous choral singing
experience and the ability to sight-read are desired, but not
required for membership.
Rehearsals
Rehearsals are held
St. Bernadette’s
Church 128th & Ambaum, Burien (map)
in the Parish Hall, from 7:00 until 9:15 p.m. on Tuesday
evenings. In addition, there is usually one all-day rehearsal on
a weekend during the preparation cycle for each concert, and
singers are typically required to be at the theater every
evening the week before each show opens for technical and
dress rehearsals. No more than three absences from rehearsals
per concert period are allowed.
Additional Member Requirements
CSN members pay dues of $55 for each concert period. Dues
scholarships are available for singers based upon need. Dues
cover the cost of music and folder, as well as a portion of
general operating expenses. There is required uniform concert
attire, which is the singer's responsibility to obtain.
