Spirito! Singers Auditions for 2017-2018 Season

Spirito! Singers, an elite choral organization located in the Western Suburbs of Chicago, is currently accepting auditions for the 2017-18 season for the Ragazze and Bravura ensembles. The Ragazze Ensemble comprises girls between 5th and 8th grade, and the Bravura Ensemble features young women in the 9th-12th grade. Members are only admitted at the beginning of the season, so this is the only time of year members can join one of the most coveted musical ensembles in the area.

Fresh off of a highly successful season Spirito! continues to attract some of the area’s most talented voices. Drawing singers from throughout the Western Suburbs, including La Grange, Western Springs, Elmhurst, Hinsdale, Oak Brook, Westmont, Downers Grove and beyond, this respected choral society sings musically rich and challenging choral repertoire from a variety of genres. In addition, its Ragazze Ensemble

incorporates curriculum based music theory training as a part of its weekly rehearsals. All ensembles rehearse weekly with a schedule that mirrors the school year. Spirito! also puts the community first, providing members and their families with a number of opportunities to give back to the local community.

“Our goal is to not only create an environment for our girls to learn and experience exceptional repertoire, but to grow as musicians and to thrive within the community,” says Artistic Director Molly Lindberg. “We create an opportunity for our members to perform the music they love, while building civic awareness, and establishing friendships with other young women in the area.”

“Spirito! is quickly becoming a staple organization throughout Chicagoland, which means we can create unforgettable opportunities for our girls within their ensembles,” says Lindberg. “We have a lot planned for next year and are so excited to be celebrating our 10-Year Anniversary next season!”

All Spirito! auditions are held in a non-intimidating, and relaxed setting. Spirito! does not require preparation of an audition piece.
