There are vacancies in every section at the start of every season. Vacancies can occur throughout the season, as well. Although you are not required to have had formal voice lessons, all members are expected to be able to sing on pitch, in accurate rhythm, and to have moderate to good sight singing ability. Singers are expected to have a good reading knowledge of musical notation. You should have had previous experience in a large or a small choral ensemble, symphonic or a cappella, with performances of some of the major classical choral works.
Instrumental training can be very valuable, as well as foreign languages.
We highly recommend, but do not require, that membership start in September. Mr. Coleman will interview you over the phone. He will want to know about your voice type, choral experience and general level of musical proficiency. At Mr. Coleman's discretion, you will schedule a private appointment, lasting approximately one-half hour, conducted at the SCC office in North Seattle. Vocalise and warm-up.
