Join the Chorus
Upcoming Auditions 2010/2011
The Elgin Children’s Chorus is celebrating its 25th Season of teaching life through song and we would love to have you join us! Boys and girls, ages 7 to 16 with unchanged voices, are invited to audition for the 2010-2011 season. Auditions are being scheduled on September 9, 2010, from 5:00p.m. to 6:30p.m at the Elgin Community College Arts Center, 1700 Spartan Drive in Elgin.
Our program features exceptional music educators, weekly fun and challenging rehearsals, and superb live performances. Our members develop music reading skills, critical listening abilities, and vocal skills. Singers also acquire teambuilding skills, discipline, and self-confidence. Our members are from 29 cities (53 schools) throughout the Fox Valley Community.
We have five choirs: Treble Choir, an entry level group; Intermezzo Choir, an intermediate group; Concert Choir, our principal performing ensemble and touring choir; Chamber Choir, a select group of singers who learn advanced choral techniques; and the Boys Ensemble, a group made up of all the young men from all our ensembles.
Auditions are easy-going and children do not need to read music. The essential chorister attitude is a desire to have fun learning great music and a commitment to regular attendance at rehearsals and performances. To prepare for the audition, you may want to brush up on the round “Are You Sleeping?” and the song “My Country 'tis of Thee.” To schedule an audition or learn more about the Chorus visit elginchildrenschorus.org or call 847-931-SING (7464).
