Auditions are held year-round. Usually, auditions are held on Tuesday evenings, but other arrangements can be made if needed.

If you or someone you know is interested in auditioning please call (937) 229-3909 or email us through this website to schedule an audition time.

You should expect and be prepared to:

• Fill out a personal information form and/or bring a resume citing your musical background including performing experience and education.
• Sing two solo selections (one of which should be in a foreign language). To make the best impression, these selections should be memorized.
• Sight-sing the appropriate vocal line in a simple four-part composition without piano accompaniment.
• Vocalize to the highest and lowest reaches of your range.
• Reproduce pitch patterns played from the piano.

You will sing for the Artistic Director and 4 to 6 current members of Musica! . You may be (but not always) asked to be a “guest” at one of the group’s normally scheduled rehearsals. There you will be asked to sing with your section and participate in the rehearsal.

Sing two solo selections. It is required that one of these pieces be in a foreign language. It is strongly recommended that you perform these songs memorized. Select pieces that will best show your vocal ability and what you can bring to Musica! .

An accompanist will be provided for you, and you will be able to rehearse with him/her just before the audition. Please be sure copies of the music provided are in a readable format. Please let us know prior to your audition if you will be bringing your own accompanist.

You can expect to hear a decision within 5 business days of your audition. The artistic director will contact you directly.

If you accept an invitation to sing with Musica! it is expected that you will:

• Attend and participate in weekly rehearsals (there is a break around Christmas/New Year’s and for an extended period in the summer).
• Attend and participate in any required additional dress rehearsals.
• Attend and participate in all Season Subscription Concerts (usually 6 per year).
• Attend and participate in all additional concerts outside of the Subscription Series (usually between 2 and 4 a year).
• Attend and participate in the annual Musica! retreat (a kick-off weekend held sometime in August where singers are introduced to the new season’s repertoire).
• Attend and participate in the annual Musica! Gala event (our annual fundraiser, usually held in May or June of every year).
• You also may be asked to use some of your other talents in a more administrative role, by serving on one of our operating committees.

Singers are expected to purchase the concert dress of your gender.
