Sing with us! San Francisco-based Resound Ensemble is holding auditions for all voice parts on Wednesday evening, August 21st. Please visit www.resoundensemble.org to schedule an audition. We have several openings for lower voices and limited openings for treble voices.
General Info: We are a 40- to 50-voice ensemble committed to an eclectic choral repertoire. Each season, we present a wide range of styles of choral music, from 15th-century pieces to new works, accompanied and a cappella, based around a unifying theme. We value community and enjoy many musical and non-musical activities together throughout each season.
Musical Requirements:
1. Vocalization: You will be led through a few brief exercises to explore the extent of your range.
2. Tonal Memory: Part of the audition will be rhythmic, singing patterns that are first played on the piano. These will get progressively more difficult and will only be played once.
3. Sight-reading: There will be one short sight-reading exercise.
4. Solo Piece: Please prepare 12-16 bars of a piece appropriate for your voice and vocal experience. Generally, a selection from a musical or a classical song (art song or aria) is preferred. Be sure to choose something that shows the most expressive aspects of your voice. You will be required to provide your own sheet music for our pianist.
Rehearsals are every Wednesday night from 7 pm to 9:30 pm in a large space just off 24th Street in Noe Valley, easily accessible by BART and MUNI. Free parking within a two-block radius is also available.
Our Fall 2024 concert dates, all evenings: Friday, November 8th, Saturday, November 9th, and Monday, November 11th.
We look forward to meeting you!
