Audition Notice: The Riverside Choir is hearing auditions for the Sub List in all voice parts, and limited SAB position openings. Description and pay-scale: The Riverside Choir is a diverse semi-professional group of 40+ singers, ranging in ability from volunteer and avocational to fully professional, and offers various positions on a sliding scale of compensation of $80-$150/service.

A high level of musicianship, experience, confidence, sense of pitch, and proficient music reading is expected. The ability to blend chorally and sing comfortably with limited vibrato is essential. The choir sings the full range of traditional choral repertoire from classical composers such as Mendelssohn, Handel, and Howells, to modern composers and African-American spirituals.

There are occasional solo opportunities. Schedule: The usual Sunday schedule is a 9:00am rehearsal for an 11:00am service, every week from mid-September to mid-June, with additional services around Christmas and Easter. Major holiday attendance is expected. There is a once monthly Thursday evening rehearsal, and occasional other weeknight rehearsals as required.

Small groups on a rotating basis sing through the summer months. “Music at Riverside” presents 2-3 choral concerts per season. Audition: To be considered for an audition, submit a resume (include choral/ensemble experience), links to audio/video samples, and availability for an audition. Upon review of your materials, we will reach out if you have been selected for a live audition.
