AUDITION FOR CHORALE BEL CANTO!


Dear Singers,
Chorale Bel Canto is auditioning! This is a friendly process, and although it may be stressful, it is important that we learn where you are vocally and musically, mostly to make sure you sing in the appropriate section, and also to aid in constructing a seating chart.
Below is a brief list of expectations and standards. Please look this over before you schedule your appointment. We are committed to provide support for our musical growth, and to that end will offer some voice work in a class setting, as well as musicianship training and music literacy to improve our overall learning effectiveness.
We are holding auditions in August, and it is very important that we hear everyone before the first rehearsal. To that end, we have agreed upon the following audition schedule:
Thursday, August 14 6-9pm 
Friday, August 15, 9-12am 
Friday, August 15, 1-4pm 
Friday, August 15, 6-9pm 
Saturday, August 16, 9-12am 
Saturday, August 16, 1-4pm 
Monday, August 18, 3:30-5pm 
Monday, August 18, 6-9pm

Auditions will be held in the Whittier College Chapel. -Olive Dr, Whittier, CA 90601-

Chorale Bel Canto


Come With us Into the Future!

Things are Heating Up!

In April we received a remarkably generous $50,000 from the Pitts Family Foundation. This inspired us to plan for longevity and design our impact on the future.

In June we invited you to join our campaign to match half of the Pitts gift and raise an additional $25,000 by the first concert of our 33rd season to help us build our long-term investment fund.

Thank You!
We have now received over $10,000!

Your generous gifts have allowed us to complete our move from Arnold Hall at Whittier College to Trinity Lutheran Church in Whittier, our new rehearsal home. You have also enabled us to purchase a beautiful Kawai grand piano and move it to our new home.

Our Board of Directors is looking forward to an August retreat in which we will begin implementation of our three-year Strategic Plan. We will also audition new singers in August, so think about joining us on stage for our 33rd year of beautiful singing or invite fellow musicians to audition.


It’s never too late to help us advance to the future.           
                  We’re havin’ a heat wave!
                               Help our thermometer rise!

Watch our thermometer rise throughout the summer!
