IN UNISON Chorus Auditions

Scheduling an Audition

Periodically, there are openings in the St. Louis Symphony IN UNISON Chorus for qualified singers to perform with the orchestra and chorus and work with distinguished, internationally-known conductors. Contact the IN UNISON Chorus Manager for more information.

All auditions for the St. Louis Symphony IN UNISON Chorus are heard by appointment.  Next auditions will be held Monday, May 8 from 5-10pm at Powell Hall. To signup for an audition slot, click here. 

Preparing for the Audition

Singers are asked to perform a solo musical selection from memory.  Interested individuals should prepare one piece in any style (for example, a church solo, a selection from a musical, or a classical work) and should bring sheet music for the accompanist—no a cappella selections are allowed.  The selection may be in any language.  Singers will also be asked to sight read and vocalize. Singers must be familiar with the basics of music notation. Vocalizing will further demonstrate range and flexibility and help determine possible placement in the chorus. Auditions are heard by the chorus director and chorus accompanist.  The entire audition will last ten minutes.

SIGHT READING EXAMPLES

Auditions are heard by the chorus director and chorus manager and an accompanist is provided. The entire audition will last approximately 8-10 minutes.
