Membership in the Muskegon Chamber Choir is by audition only.

These auditions are held every year on the Tuesday and Wednesday after Labor Day.

The audition process is as follows (an accompanist is furnished):

Please be prepared to sing a solo for us.  This solo can range from a simple hymn to an aria from La Forza del Destino. A candidate should sing a selection that shows his or her voice in its best light.

After you have sung your solo piece, we will ask you to sight-read.  Because each concert is done with a minimum of rehearsals, we view sight-reading as a critical skill.

The sight-reading will consist of you singing your part of a simple four-part hymn that you don’t know while the piano plays the other three parts.  After we have chatted informally for a few minutes you’re all done.  Absolutely painless....guaranteed.

Audition scores will be held for one year. This eliminates the need to re-audition in case of an unexpected mid-season opening. Over the years a very few proven singers have been added to the choir by invitation.
