Voices Rising is open to singers age 8 and up. The chorus does not require a formal audition, but singers must be able to carry a tune and match pitch when singing with others. Prospective members meet briefly with the Artistic Director to determine ability to sing in tune, voice range, and section placement. Youth singers, tenors, baritones and basses are especially encouraged to join!
PLEASE NOTE THAT REHEARSALS (AND PERFORMANCES) ARE CURRENTLY SUSPENDED DUE TO COVID-19. The following information is applicable to when we resume singing.
Each season (Aug to May), Voices Rising conducts two concert terms: Fall term and Spring term. Each term begins with New-Singer Registration and includes at least one concert performance. Members register by term, rather than by season. Registration implies a commitment to attend rehearsals and practice independently to ensure performance readiness.
Rehearsals are held Sunday evenings from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Only singers are allowed in the choir room during rehearsals. We're sorry, but childcare is not available at this time.
Member Dues are $75 per term. Dues help us to defray operating costs such as rehearsal and performance space, sheet music, artistic director and accompanist compensation, etc. Limited scholarship funds are available, as provided by supporting donors. Although Voices Rising does not exclude anyone due to financial constraints, we ask that those awarded scholarship pay whatever they feel can, as a token of their commitment to the chorus. If you need financial assistance, please e-mail Debra Sachs, Treasurer or speak with her prior to rehearsal.
