Monadnock Music Festival Looking for Singers

The Monadnock Music Festival is looking for excellent singers to participate in their first ever Festival chorus!

On July 27, Artistic Director Gil Rose will conduct “Suite for Violin and American Gamelan” and the premier of the festival chorus performing “La Koro Sutro”. Both works are composed by the late American composer Lou Harrison who was noted for incorporating elements of the music from non-Western cultures into his work. “La Koro Sutro” features the American Gamelan, Harrison’s adaptation of the Javanese instruments (played by six percussionists), organ and harp.

We will be holding an Open Rehearsal/Audition from 6 - 7:30 on Thursday, June 6 at ConVal High School in Peterborough, NH for all interested singers.

IF asked to participate your commitment to participating would include 4 or 5 preparatory rehearsals in the month of June and early July and the following dates the week of the performance:

• Thursday, July 25th - Rehearsal (Evening) ConVal High School, Peterborough
• Friday, July 26th - Rehearsal (Evening) Peterborough Town House
• Saturday July 27^th – Dress Rehearsal (Afternoon) Peterborough Town House
• Saturday, July 27th - Performance (7:30 PM) Peterborough Town House

Your participation would not require that you commit annually, however this could be the beginning of a great summer tradition! More information about the Monadnock Music Festival and its directors can be found at monadnockmusic.org.

Please do not hesitate to contact krystalamorin@gmail.com with interest, questions or concerns.

If you plan to attend the open rehearsal/audition please send an email confirming your intent to attend.  Please note your voice type and a short paragraph about your singing experience.

We look forward to hearing from you!
