Sing with AVM
Interested singers are invited to attend an open rehearsal. An audition is required to join, but vocal training is not essential. Basic musicianship, a good musical ear, and a dedication and love for the choral classics is a must, however.
Open rehearsal dates for the 2011-2012 season are:For the November concert: Tuesday, September 6, and Monday, September 12, 2011 at 7:30 p.m
Rehearsals are held on Monday nights from 7:30 to 9:45 pm in the Class of 1945 Hall in the Center for the Arts at St. Mark's School , 25 Marlborough Road, Southborough . Labor Day is the only Monday Holiday on which no rehearsal is held. Rehearsals run until 9:45pm with a 10-15 minute break.
If you find you would like to continue with the group, we ask that you prepare a piece to provide the Artistic Director with a sense of your voice qualities. The piece need not be elaborate. The meeting with the Artistic Director will be scheduled at a mutually convenient time, generally prior to a Monday rehearsal.
In addition, come to our Messiah Sing at Trinity Church, Northborough, which is open to everyone who wants to sing or listen to us before deciding to join. (A $10 donation is suggested at the door.)
Members purchase their own music, pay a small annual dues fee, and participate in a fall fund drive to obtain advertisers and sponsors to support the organization's operating budget. Weekly attendance at rehearsals is expected.
