Auditions
Cantemus
has openings for experienced singers in all voice parts.
Auditions are held twice a year by appointment. The next
auditions will be held on August 31 and September 7, 2010.
Auditionees
should be prepared with a short unaccompanied song, hymn,
or other work. There will be sight-reading and aural testing.
Previous choral/vocal experience is recommended in order to
audition: solid vocal quality, sight reading skills, aural
memory, and rhythmic understanding are emphasized.

Rehearsals
Rehearsals
take place at Miles River Middle School in Hamilton every
Tuesday from 7:30 to 10:00 p.m. Additional rehearsals may
be scheduled, if required.
To
maintain the quality of performance for which Cantemus is
known, singers are expected to attend every rehearsal and
be punctual. A maximum of three missed rehearsals per semester
will be excused.
Concert
Attendance
Singers
are expected to attend all concerts and dress rehearsals on

balance and tone.
