Susquehanna Chorale Youth, Young Women, and Children Auditions
The Susquehanna Chorale Invites Young Singers To Audition For The 2024-2025 Season
The Susquehanna Chorale has announced annual auditions for its Educational Outreach Program (EOP). Young singers (including those entering 4th grade through college in the fall of 2024) are eligible to try out for the Susquehanna Children’s Chorale (conducted by Judith Shepler), the Susquehanna Youth Chorale (conducted by Dru Deitch), and/or the Susquehanna Young Women’s Chorale (conducted by Mitchell Sensenig-Wilshire).
The Educational Outreach Program of the Susquehanna Chorale was formed to give talented young singers an opportunity to rehearse and perform with other highly motivated singers at an advanced level of artistic excellence. The EOP is intended to complement existing school music programs and is designed to inspire future generations of choral singers. EOP ensembles also provide an outlet for singers who may be home-schooled or would not otherwise have an opportunity to experience choral singing with their peers.
Auditions are by appointment only and will be held at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Hershey on Tuesday, May 21 (6:30 p.m. start time), and Silver Spring Presbyterian Church in Mechanicsburg on Tuesday, May 28 (6:30 p.m. start time) and Saturday, June 1 (1:00 p.m. start time). Interested singers are invited to begin the audition process at the Susquehanna Chorale website: https://www.susquehannachorale.org/youthchoirauditions. To schedule an audition, call 717-533-7859 or email Molly Masser at [email protected].
The three youth chorales rehearse Tuesday evenings, August-November. Rehearsals focus on preparation for the Scholarship Benefit Concert in October and the annual Youth Choral Festival in November. Scholarships are available to offset tuition.
EOP repertoire encompasses a wide range of musical styles and historical periods. The emphasis in rehearsal is on exploring fine choral literature specifically appropriate for each choir level, developing vocal skills through sound pedagogical techniques, and fostering a lifelong appreciation for the choral art.
