The Oriana Consort seeks experienced singers in all voice parts to join us for performances on November 14, November 16, and November 22, of a cappella choral works by Maurice Ravel, Bela Bartok, Samuel Barber, William Byrd, Adolphus  Hailstork, Jean Berger, Healey Willan, Anne Kilstofte, Karen Siegel, and Relly Raffman. Sunday evening rehearsals in Cambridge begin September 7.

Oriana is an accomplished chorale of ca. 25 singers, with an eclectic repertory, enthusiastic audiences, and a warm and attractive sound. Hear us sing at www.orianaconsort.org (click LISTEN). We seek good-to-excellent readers with clear, center-of-the-pitch voices that work well with the group. Our soloists are always drawn from our membership.

To schedule a half-hour audition in Cambridge on the afternoon of August 23, August 30, or September 6, please email Oriana’s director, Walter Chapin, at director@orianaconsort.org, summarizing your choral experience. For your audition you’ll join a quartet of Oriana members to read excerpts from our recent repertory and to sing a brief but fairly difficult choral part that we’ll ask you to prepare during the two days before your audition. Please bring a solo that shows off your voice at its best – your choice of length, genre, difficulty.
