Free Audition Workshop For Area Singers

Whether a novice or experienced singer, many people are unnerved by the prospect of an audition. Sponsored by the Performing Arts Scholarship Foundation, The Choral Society is hosting a free, community-wide audition workshop at the Arts & Culture building, 1330 State Street, on August 13 from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. Any area singer is welcome to attend regardless of their interest in any particular vocal group.

Becca Clarke, the Assistant to the Conductor of The Choral Society, will help prepare singers to approach vocal auditions with confidence. Clarke holds a Bachelor’s in Vocal Performance from the University of Utah and a Master of Arts in Music Leadership from the Eastman School of Music. She has sung with various ensembles including the Utah Symphony and Opera choruses. In addition to The Choral Society, she also performs with Quire of Voyces, the Santa Barbara Symphony Chorus, and is Production Manager for Camerata Pacifica.
