Audition Info

---

The Handel Society is an auditioned choir and welcomes new members, soloists, and orchestra members.

Although the choir is auditioned, a love and passion for singing and a desire for learning is equally important to ability and talent, so all interested persons are encouraged to apply.

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE to join us as we rehearse for several concerts throughout the year! We would love to have more sopranos, altos, tenors and basses!

Please contact Johan Louwersheimer, our Music Director and Membership Coordinator. You can reach him via the Contact Us section.

Soloists wishing to perform with the choir should submit their bio, a short resume, and, if possible, a video (see preferred selections below) to us via the Contact Us section.

Videos should be sent via a link to a private YouTube video. Any other form of video or live recorded audition (DVD, Dropbox, CD, etc) must be arranged prior to application.

Interested orchestra members should contact Mr. Louwersheimer via the Contact Us section.

The professional-level orchestra for each concert is augmented with young musicians who bring their passion, budding expertise, and technical skill to each and every performance. Not only are audiences treated to high-caliber musicianship, but young musicians gain performance experience in bringing some of the classical repertoire’s most demanding and most beloved works to life.

The Handel Society of Music supports the development and interest of young musicians in classical music. Children under 16 are admitted free to all concerts, which allows families to attend together and encourages a strong musical education in young children.

Serious young musicians are also encouraged to audition for the orchestra. The orchestra gives excellent rehearsal and performance experience for young musicians wishing to pursue an orchestral career. Contact Mr. Louwersheimer via the Contact Us section.
