The audition consists of scales, ear and pitch memory exercises, and sight-reading in order to evaluate voice, ear, and reading abilities. A prepared piece is not required, but prior musical experience is expected. Tenors and basses are especially welcome.
At this time, all singers are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and have had at least one booster dose. Masks are also required. Interested singers are asked to email to set up an audition.
The repertory of the Jameson Singers encompasses music from the Renaissance to the present. This season’s repertoire includes Handel’s Dixit Dominus with professional soloists and Baroque orchestra and music of Byrd, Tomkins, Bach, Brahms, Bortniansky, Stephen Paulus, and Pēteris Vasks.
The Jameson Singers performs several concerts of choral-orchestral and smaller works each season. Rehearsals are held on Wednesday evenings from 7:15 to 9:45 PM and begin September 14, 2022. The Winter Holiday Concert will be on December 3, 2022, and the Handel concert will be on May 6, 2023.
