2010/2011 Season Auditions in Progress

The Elgin Children’s Chorus is celebrating its 25^th Season of teaching life through song and we would love to have you join us! Auditions for the 2010-2011 season will continue on Thursday, September 9, 2010 from 5:00pm to 6:30pm at the Elgin Community College Visual and Performing Arts Center, 1700 Spartan Dr in Elgin. 

Our choir consists of boys and girls, ages 7 to 16 with unchanged voices. Auditions are easy-going and children do not need to read music. The essential attitude for a young singer is a desire to have fun learning great music and a commitment to regular attendance at rehearsals and performances. To prepare for the audition, you may want to brush up on the round “Are You Sleeping?” and the song “My Country 'tis of Thee.”

Singers acquire teambuilding skills, discipline, and self-confidence. Our members also develop music reading skills, critical listening abilities, and vocal skills. Our members are from 29 cities (53 schools) throughout the Fox Valley Community.

We have five choirs: Treble Choir, an entry level group; Intermezzo Choir, an intermediate group; Concert Choir, our principal performing ensemble and touring choir; Chamber Choir, a select group of singers who learn advanced choral techniques; and the Boys Ensemble, a group made up of all the young men from all our ensembles.
