The Intermediate Chorus (Level IV) is one step away from the semi-professional touring Concert Chorus and represents a chorister’s ability to sing consistently, clearly, and flexibly across his vocal range (soprano, soprano-2, alto). Choristers study and perform highly complex three-part literature with consonant and dissonant harmonies, reflecting their ability to hold a vocal part in 3-part harmony using a strong, focused sound and ability to read extended pentatonic melodies and passages. To be considered for promotion to the Concert Chorus, Intermediate candidates must display leadership qualities consistent with the demands they will face as part of the Concert Chorus, as well as the demonstrated commitment to performances and the Chorus. In addition, Intermediates are required to attend SFBC’s Away Camp every July, during which three months of learning is compressed into ten days. Rehearsals in San Francisco, Oakland or San Rafael.
