Chorus Auditions
Chorus music rehearsals will begin mid-late November and will be scheduled according to everyone's availability. (Rehearsals will be approx. every other week until staging begins, scheduled at the discretion of the music director)
The chorus is a volunteer opportunity and therefore we can only accept local singers at this time. We are especially seeking queer and BIPOC singers, but everyone is welcome to apply!
Each chorister will receive two comp tickets to the show and a discount code for their friends & family. We are also happy to offer volunteer hours to those in need of them for their academic requirements.
PXO takes the health and safety of our artists very seriously, as such all applicants are required to show proof of covid vaccination to be eligible to participate.
Audition Requirements - record a video of you singing your part of the provided excerpt. The chorus is a cappella so all you need is you, your voice, and a camera & mic. Phone videos are great as long as we can see and hear you clearly! You may either upload your video directly to this form, or submit a YouTube or other video hosting link.
All materials are linked in the audition form.
Applications are due by Oct 27, 2023
