Young people between the ages of 7 and 17 who love to sing are invited to audition for the Philharmonic Youth Chorale. The Youth Chorale, which performs with the Naples Philharmonic Orchestra, will hold auditions on Saturday, September 5 for the 2009-10 season.
Those wishing to audition should prepare a song of their choosing which they believe showcases their vocal talents. Selections should be no longer than two minutes. A copy of the song should be provided for the Philharmonic Center piano accompanist. All auditions must be with piano accompaniment, not to recorded music or a cappella. Applicants will be asked to match pitch and, depending on their musical background, may be asked to sight-read.
Auditions will be held in the administration building at the Philharmonic Center for the Arts, 5833 Pelican Bay Blvd. in Naples
Under the direction of James Cochran, the Youth Chorale rehearses weekly on Saturday mornings with breaks that coincide with public school vacation schedules. Annual tuition for the Philharmonic Youth Chorale is $100. The music fee is $25. Some scholarships are available.
To receive additional information for scheduling an audition, please call the Education Department at 254-2642.
