Auditions planned for children’s choirs

AMES?- Placement Auditions for the 2015-16 season of the Ames Children’s Choirs will be conducted from Aug. 11 to 30. The program includes three choirs, Preparatory Choir, Chorale, and Concert Choir for boys and girls ages 8 to 18 with unchanged voices. The choirs perform an annual Holiday Concert in December and a Spring Concert in May 2016. In addition, the choirs participate in festivals, provide numerous performances for central Iowa communities, and have toured regionally, nationally, and internationally.

For the placement audition, singers are encouraged to sing a folk or patriotic song but are welcome to audition without a prepared song. No previous experience or vocal training is required for participation in the choirs, only the ability to match pitch and maintain a melody and the desire and commitment to participate in a choral ensemble of excellence. A tuition fee will be assessed to cover the cost of facilities, instruction, music, and administration. Conductors Jade Fox and Mindy Phomvisay will direct the auditions and encourage all children with a love of music to strongly consider participation.

Contact Shon Stephenson, Executive Assistant, at info@ameschildrenschoirs.org or (515) 290-1422 formore information about the program or to arrange for a specific audition time.
