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. 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) in the Parish Hall, from 7:00 until 9:30 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 $60 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.
