Oratorio Society of New Jersey Calls for Singers

www.oratoriosocietynj.org

The Oratorio Society of New Jersey (OSNJ) begins rehearsals for the annual spring concert of

its 72 nd season on Tuesday, February 11, from 7:30 pm to 10:00 pm at Union Congregational
Church (176 Cooper Avenue, Montclair, NJ). OSNJ is looking for new singers in all voice parts
to join the choir. After the first rehearsal, all other rehearsals will take place from 8:00 pm to
10:00 pm.
Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana surely counts as one of the most recognizable works in the entire
choral literature. The movement that opens and closes the piece is “O Fortuna.” It has been
featured in numerous films, TV commercials, and sporting events. For any choral singer,
performing this classic work is an absolute blast.
The choir is looking for new singers in all vocal parts, particularly tenors. No auditions are
required, but previous experience singing choral music is preferred. Additional information on
the season can be found at www.oratoriosocietynj.org or
www.facebook.com/oratoriosocietyofnj/.
Please take a look at videos of our past performances on our website to see how polished our
performances are: https://www.oratoriosocietynj.org/video-gallery.
The spring concert is scheduled to take place on Saturday, April 26, at 8:00 pm at Central
Presbyterian Church in Montclair, NJ.
