Auditions for Manhattan Chorale, a New York City-based all-professional choir, will take place during August in New York City. We invite prospective auditionees to submit a résumé specifying your choral experience along with one to three (1–3) MP3 recordings. Website address and headshot are optional. Auditions are for select concerts in Manhattan Chorale’s 2016–17 concert season.
Please send requested materials along with voice part specification to by August 1.
Submission of materials is an indication of your interest but not a guarantee of an audition. If you are selected for an audition we will contact you to set up a time.
About us: Manhattan Chorale is a professional choir based in New York City under the direction of its founder, Craig Arnold. They present an historical spectrum of choral masterworks both large and small, traditional and contemporary, and are advocates of new works.
In addition to their own concerts, the singers collaborate with choirs from across the United States who gather for various New York residencies under the auspices of Manhattan Concert Productions to perform at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. The Chorale includes New York freelance professional singers, though many of its members are hired for singing and administrative skills.
Manhattan Chorale has presented concerts in Boston, Washington D.C., Chicago, and New York City. They have also performed alongside Broadway stars in Broadway Classics at Carnegie Hall and, at the invitation of Walt Disney Company, as the chorus in a workshop presentation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame in New York City.
The Chorale maintains a continuing educational outreach to emerging conductors and high school music programs. Recent seasons have included a Chicago-area masterclass with four selected conductors and 60 auditors; and, a festival-clinic with six invited high school choirs and their directors. Additionally, Manhattan Chorale is the lifetime sponsor of the American Choral Directors Association student conducting competition.
