Audition for the Award-Winning Choir, WomenSing

WomenSing is holding auditions for experienced singers on January 10, 2012 by appointment only.  All women's voice parts are welcome.  Contact us by email at audition@womensing.org, call our voice mail at 925.974.9169, or go to www.womensing.org for more information and to schedule your audition time.

Singing with a vibrant and beautifully blended sound, WomenSing's concerts present both traditional and unexpected music.  Performances include collaborations with major performing groups, and national and international tours.  WomenSing's recognition includes partial funding from Meet the Composer, the Chorus America/ASCAP Alice Parker Award for adventurous programming in 2010, the 2010 Contra Costa County Arts Commission Award for Artistic Achievement, and selected performer at the Chorus America National Convention in June, 2011.

In its 46th year, WomenSing's season "Songlines" continues to explore the world and its connections through both traditional and unexpected music.  In early June we will come "Full Circle," featuring Sarah Hopkin's "Past Life Melodies," along with music by Mechem, Brahms, featured Australian composer Sandra Milliken's "Fanfare of Praise,"and a world premiere to celebrate Martin Benvenuto's 10th anniversary as Artistic Director of WomenSing!  Acalanes High School's Bella Voce and the Contra Costa Children's Chorus Honors Ensemble will join us in unveiling our fourth-year Youth Inspiring Youth commissions.  Scholarships are available for qualified singers.
