C4: The Choral Composer/Conductor Collective

C4: The Choral Composer/Conductor Collective is holding auditions for tenors on Thursday October 24th from 7-10pm, in Manhattan.

***Rehearsals: Thursdays ***Neighborhood: Manhattan

The audition will consist of vocalizing for range and timbre, a prepared piece which will be e-mailed one week beforehand, rhythmic and melodic sight singing, and a blending exercise.

C4 is a semi-professional new music choir, directed and operated collectively by its singing members. It is both a presenting ensemble and a workshop chorus for the emerging composers and conductors at the core of the group. It is one of the few choral groups in the nation to focus exclusively on the music of our time, performing only music written in the last 25 years. The repertoire is challenging and requires members to have excellent musicianship skills and sight reading ability. Practice tracks are made available for both the audition and concert repertoire. Singers should have choral experience and a strong interest in contemporary music. C4 is looking for people of all ages, and to further diversify the ensemble.

There will be 1 concert on Saturday 12/14 8pm (call time approx. 6:15) with one dress rehearsal on Tuesday 12/10 7-10. Six regular rehearsals will occur on Thursday evenings beginning 10/31, from 7-10 PM and one Saturday 11/9 10 AM-3 PM. A small honorarium will be paid to members.

If you are interested in setting up an audition slot, please email auditions@c4ensemble.org before 10/17.
