AUDITION INFORMATION
Auditions are held individually, online via Zoom by appointment.
Please e-mail us at auditions@stonewallchorale.org to arrange your appointment.
Auditioning is painless; if you can carry a tune, have a pleasant voice, have a knowledge of music notation, a congenial attitude and a willingness to work hard for a couple of hours a week with like-minded people, the Stonewall Chorale may be for you!
The Stonewall Chorale is the nation’s first gay and lesbian chorus, though you don’t have to be gay to join! We are devoted to singing the great choral classics of the ages – from Medieval and Renaissance to Meredith Monk and Eric Whitacre. We love to sing and are committed to excellence…and we also have a lot of fun.
If you've ever been interested in joining The Stonewall Chorale, this is the perfect time!
As of last season, we are now back to performing live concerts, so now is the time to sing with the Stonewall Chorale, make new friends, explore beautiful music together and offer it back to the community!
Tell us a little about yourself and we will contact you to arrange an audition.
