To schedule auditions, contact Ms. Richeh at aricheh@cacboston.org
Audition requirements:
- Prepare a simple song to perform in any language
- The conductor will play simple tunes and candidates will repeat them to decide which type of voice the candidate has (Soprano, Alto, Tenor or Bass)
- Auditioning will be conducted privately to allow the kids to sing freely. (It is not a test, but a way to get to know each child and hear their singing)
