Auditions for 2013-2014 Season

Auditions for the 10th Anniversary season of the Durham Children's Choir will be held at the following times:

Tuesday, May 21 4:00-5:30 PM Durham Arts Council, IBM Rehearsal Room
Thursday, May 23 4:00-5:00 PM Hillandale Elementary School, Music Room
Tuesday, May 28 4:00-5:30 PM Durham Arts Council, IBM Rehearsal Room

Each audition lasts 15-20 minutes. Children will be taught a simple melody, along with vocal and rhythmic exercises, which they will sing in groups. The directors are looking for children who love to sing, have a pleasant vocal quality and can match pitch. It is not necessary to call for an appointment or to bring a prepared song. Parents, please remain in the audition room, as there will be several forms to complete. After auditions, the directors will place the singers in the appropriate choir.

The Durham Children’s Choir was founded by Scott Hill in May, 2004, with assistance from the Durham Arts Council, Duke University Chapel Music and private contributions. The choir and its directors are committed to providing an environment where young singers can attain the highest level of excellence in public performances, while maintaining a membership that is open to children of all racial, cultural, religious and economic backgrounds in the Durham area.

The Durham Children’s Choir studies and performs a wide variety of choral music, including sacred and secular music, world music, gospel, Broadway, and American popular songs.

Music theory and appreciation are included in weekly rehearsals which run throughout the traditional school year.
