The Savannah Philharmonic is holding auditions throughout the year for singers to have the opportunity to join the Chorus for the exciting 2019-2020 season.

Auditions for new singers will be at 10-2 p.m. on September 7, September 14, and January 4. Rehearsals for the Chorus are Tuesdays 7-9 p.m. at Savannah Arts Academy, 500 Washington Ave.

When singers become a part of Savannah Philharmonic Chorus, they will join an elite group of orchestral musicians and singers along with Maestro Keitaro Harada. Singers will have access to section leaders and professional vocal coaches who can help develop their singing voice, will have the chance to learn great choral masterworks and new commissions, and can participate in volunteer activities as Philharmonic Ambassadors. Chorales will perform at special venues such as the Lucas Theatre, the Johnny Mercer Theatre, and more. The Philharmonic’s positive atmosphere provides a diverse, welcoming community of musical talents.

The audition is a chance for the Chorusmaster to hear singers’ voices and assess their fit into the Chorus. The auditioner should be prepared to sing a major scale and phrase from a well-known tune, a cappella. The process will then follow with a short rhythm, a sight singing, and a couple of music theory questions.
