Auditions Process

September 4-8, 2023
2023-24 Audition Information Flyer
​1. Attend  a Preliminary Audition (September 4-8). Either...
  • Sign up for an appointment OR
  • Drop in sometime on Monday 9/4 through Friday 9/8 between 5 pm and 8 pm. 
All preliminary auditions will be held in-person in the Memorial Hall Basement. 

Everyone auditioning will be placed into an ensemble or course. Our auditions are user-friendly and help us place each singer into the right ensemble. Preliminary auditions consist of:
  • Vocalizing (with piano) on various scales and patterns to determine range and evaluate tone
  • Simple melodic patterns we play that you will sing back to us to check your pitch memory
  • A short sight-singing example that we will work on together
  • You sing something for us: either something you've prepared (it can be anything: aria, art song, folk song, hymn tune, musical theater, etc.), or if you didn't bring anything prepared then we’ll just sing Happy Birthday!​

2. After your Preliminary Audition, you will either...
  • Be called back for a second audition with a quartet. At this point, you are a member of the Harvard Choruses. Which chorus, however, is determined after callbacks. See audition information flyer for more details.
  • Be accepted into the Harvard-Radcliffe Chorus. No callback is necessary. OR
  • Be accepted into Skills for Singing. No callback is necessary.
