Audition for Vox Musica
Auditions
We welcome audition submissions throughout the season; however, in-person auditions are typically held at the end of each season, usually in August.
Vox Musica seeks professionally focused singers who are passionate about artistic excellence and collaborative music-making. We are looking for unique and talented singers to join our close-knit family of choral artists—singers with experience in choral ensembles, strong technical command of their instrument, and excellent sight-reading skills. We value musicianship, reliability, and a spirit of artistry that enriches both the ensemble and our audiences.
Our season runs September through May, with rehearsals held on Monday evenings after 6:00 pm in Sacramento. Singers must be available for all rehearsals and prepared to commit to four concert projects each season—two larger productions and two smaller, more intimate programs.
STEP ONE: INQUIRY -
Choral Artists interested in auditioning for Vox Musica should have experience in choral singing, have technical command of their instrument, and display excellent sight-reading skills. Interested Choral Artists will submit an inquiry email. The inquiry emails will include the following:
1. Contact information: first name, last name, email, phone number, vocal range, and preferred voice part(s) in order of preference.
2. A short description of your vocal/choral musical experience.
3. A digital recording of you singing straight tone and vibrato vocal styles that best represent your voice. This can be demonstrated through a prepared piece(s) or through singing scales and arpeggios.
STEP TWO: INVITATION -
Following your inquiry, Vox Musica will contact you with either an invitation for a vocal interview or a thank you for the inquiry. If you receive an invitation for a vocal interview, the invitation will include an overview of our concert season, mandatory dates for rehearsals and concerts, and details regarding your in-person vocal interview.
Please note that if you are unable to make the mandatory rehearsals or concerts, we kindly ask that you apply again next season. We are a professionally focused ensemble that expects our Choral Artists to attend all rehearsals and concerts. If you are not selected for an interview this season, we encourage you to reapply next season with an updated inquiry email and recording.
STEP THREE: INTERVIEW -
The vocal interview consists of an in-person interview with the ensemble and rigorous musicianship/sight reading testing, which includes your ability to sing:
• Major, minor, chromatic scales & arpeggios.
• Sight-read selected solo vocal exercises.
• Sight-read selected choral excerpts with the ensemble.
