The Joint Music Program choirs will reopen auditions for singers for Spring 2025 the first two weeks of Spring 2025 semester (through February 3).

The choir program will audition sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses (subject to openings in each part, but especially seeking tenors and basses) for the Claremont Concert Choir and Claremont Treble Singers rehearsing together as MUS 173, MW 7:00-8:30 pm.  This semester’s concert programs focus on aspects of love.

An audition for the choirs takes about 10 minutes and consists of vocalizing, some pitch memory ear games, singing a short, familiar tune unaccompanied (like “Happy Birthday,” “My Country ‘Tis of Thee,” “Amazing Grace, or another lyrical song of your choosing), and trying some sight singing.  No prepared piece is required beyond what is outlined above, although you may bring your own melodic piece to sing as the familiar tune.  Successful auditionees sing the familiar tune on key, and either read music or can repeat the pitch ear games well.

For more information or to schedule an audition, you may email the choral director, Professor Kamm (ckamm@scrippscollege.edu or ckamm@hmc.edu).
