JOIN ORLANDO CHAMBER CHOIR

Orlando Chamber Choir is always looking for motivated new members. Tenors and altos would be particularly welcome at the moment.

All you need is a voice that blends with the sound of the current group of singers, and the willingness to commit to a busy rehearsal schedule. Good sight reading is a bonus. Orlando Chamber Choir mainly performs works from the Renaissance and Baroque periods so an interest in "old music" is helpful, too.

You are very welcome to come and join us for one of our rehearsals. We will provide you with sheet music so that you can sing along. To hear Orlando Chamber Choir at its musical best, please come and listen to one of our concerts!

Aspiring members will be asked to take a voice test with our conductor James Weeks. The test consists of some exercises concerning intonation, voice range and sight reading. You will also be asked to prepare a short solo piece which James will be happy to accompany on the piano. If your voice test is successful you will immediately be welcomed as a member of the choir. There is no probation period.

Orlando Chamber Choir rehearses on Thursday evenings from 19:00 until 21:30 at the church hall of . There is a full-day Saturday rehearsal each term, and usually an additional dress rehearsal at the concert venue the afternoon before each performance. Choir contributions are about £85 per term including sheet music. There are three Orlando Chamber Choir terms each year.

Orlando Chamber Choir is not just a group of ambitious singers but also a friendly bunch. After rehearsals we usually round off the evening in a local pub.

If you want to join us for a rehearsal or if you would like further information about the choir, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you!
