Audition process
Singers will be asked to prepare two contrasting selections that best demonstrate the quality and versatility of their voice. A pianist will be provided for all auditions. The segment of the audition evaluating musicianship will strongly emphasize sight-singing. Finally, there may be a short language test during which singers may be asked to sight read a phrase or two in Latin, French and German in order to evaluate the individual's basic level of familiarity with the rules of diction in those languages.
