Auditions
A choir cannot function without its members. As much as we already enjoy the Society's sound, we are always looking for new members to enhance the vocal and social quality of the group.
Auditions will be held periodically throughout the year. If you wish to audition, submit the application below and you will be notified about the next audition date.
Audition format: The audition lasts about 20 minutes and will consist of vocalizing, sight reading, and a prepared piece of your choice (accompaniment will be provided). Candidates should be able to sing with a straight tone and be comfortable singing with a small number of voices on a part.
Performance schedule: We perform four concert sets per season, with performances in Berkeley, San Francisco, and Palo Alto.
Rehearsal schedule: There is a six-week rehearsal period prior to performances, with a single intensive Saturday rehearsal at the start of a set. Weekly rehearsals are Wednesdays from 7-10 p.m. in Palo Alto. Music is distributed in advance and singers are expected to learn it before the first rehearsal.
Dues: Dues are $85 for each concert set. There may be an additional charge for music. If you are a full-time student, please inquire about our internship program. Dues are waived for interns.
