Looking for a choral home?

Here’s how to arrange an audition for The Providence Singers

For more than 35 years, The Providence Singers has been an auditioned chorus of dedicated singers – people who simply love choral singing.

In theory, anyone who loves to sing and has adequate choral experience is eligible for membership. In practice, however, we now have many more candidates than we can possibly accommodate. Since the 2006-07 season, auditions for The Providence Singers have been by invitation only.

Here’s how that works:

1. You send us a letter or an e-mail in which you describe your choral experience.
2. We acknowledge your letter and pass your information to our artistic director.
3. Based on your application and the needs of the chorus, the artistic director may invite you to audition. Not all voice sections will have openings. You will hear from us one way or the other, and if you are invited to audition, we will let you know what to expect.

Please include the following in your letter when you request an audition:

• Your name and full contact information (mailing address, e-mail, telephone – home, cell, daytime, etc.)
• The voice part you customarily sing (Soprano I or II, Bass I or II, etc.)
• Groups with which you have sung in recent years and the kind of repertoire you have performed.
• Any musical training, voice lessons, academic degrees, or other experience you’ve had.
• How you found out about the Providence Singers.
• Any other information you think might help us understand your background.

We generally hold most new member auditions in May or June, with a smaller mid-season session in early January.
