Auditions
The Ann Arbor Cantata Singers continue to hold auditions for the current season. To schedule an audition, please email the music director, Warren Puffer Jones.
More Information
Specializing in innovative programming and historical singing styles, the group has openings in all sections for experienced choral singers with good musical skills and an enthusiasm for participating in an active and dynamic musical organization.
Prospective members are invited to email auditions@a2cantatasingers.org for more information and to schedule an audition.
The auditions will consist of:
*Prepared piece of your own choosing (accompanist provided)
*Scales to determine range
*Interval identification and/or Sight reading
Rehearsals are held 7-9pm every Tuesday evening at:
St. Andrews Church
306 N. Division St.
Ann Arbor, MI
Additional rehearsals will be announced throughout the season.
What We Offer
In return for your commitment and energy we offer you the opportunity to
sing with one of the most exciting and innovative choral groups in Ann Arbor.
Each season we explore significant new repertory and revisit some of the old choral masterpieces with a fresh and historically informed approach. The professional soloists and instrumentalists with whom we collaborate are among the finest in the area.
AACS produces several concerts annually. When you audition to join the
choir, we assume that you are committing to an entire season of singing,
and preference will be given to those members who will sing in all of
the concerts. However, we know that everyone's life does not always fit
choir calendars, and we are open to discussion about your scheduling needs.
While we do audition people throughout the year if there are openings,
the majority of our auditions are held during the summer when all members
re-audition and when all seats are open. Joining the choir at a later
date will depend upon the discretion of the Musical Director.
Dues and Expenses
Dues are currently $50 per half-season and are payable by the end of September.
Members must have a black choral music folder for all performances. Membership
dues are a necessary means to help support our musical goals and are used
to fund rehearsal venues, our accompanist and a portion of the Musical
Director's time.
Dues for students are reduced.
