| The Oriana Consort is currently seeking 2 second tenors and 1 low bass for fall 2010. Sunday evening rehearsals in Cambridge begin Sep. 12 for Dec. 12 & 18 performances of Bach’s Schwingt freudig euch empor (Cantata BWV 36) and Komm, Jesu, komm! (Motet BWV 229, possibly spurious!), Byrd’s Mass for Four Voices, Bernstein’s Hashkiveinu, and Barber's Agnus Dei (his choral transcription of Adagio for Strings). If your voice is in one of the above ranges, and you’re a good-to-excellent reader with a clear, well-produced, center-of-the-pitch voice, we invite you to audition for the satisfying experience of singing in an accomplished choral ensemble with a warm sound, eclectic repertory, solo opportunities, & enthusiastic audiences. Hear us online!
To schedule a half-hour evening audition in Cambridge on Thursday Sep. 9, please email Walter Chapin at
. For the audition you'll join a quartet of Oriana members to read excerpts from our recent repertory in increasing order of difficulty, & to sing a difficult but brief choral part to be prepared 2 days in advance: this tells us how you learn new music & how you would blend with us. Solo encouraged but not required.
