Audition for the OCWC!

The OCWC will hold auditions for new singers in August 2022. Auditions for the 2022-2023 season are open to all female voice parts. Choral experience is preferred, and the ability to read music is required. If you love good music and spirited company, we encourage you to audition!

Auditions include vocalization, pitch-matching, and sight-reading exercises. Singers are asked to prepare a song to sing; this need not be a formal aria or art song, and need not be memorized, but should demonstrate vocal quality, technique, and musicality. The song should be unaccompanied; there will be no accompanist at the audition.

All auditions are by appointment only. To schedule an audition, please call the OCWC at (949) 451-8590 or email us at [email protected]. Please tell us what voice part you sing and describe your prior vocal/choral experience. Please include your cell phone number in your email so that we can contact you to schedule and confirm your audition date and time.

We rehearse on Tuesday evenings from 7:15 to 9:45 p.m. at Newport Harbor Lutheran Church at 798 Dover Drive in Newport Beach. We prepare three major programs per year, and smaller performances along the way. We collaborate with other arts organizations for community performances, and plan to tour approximately every three years.
