What we’re about
This group is a small chorus of about ten musically trained and experienced singers, men and women, which will perform full programs when opportunities arise throughout the greater Boston, MA area. The programs will include a variety of classical and popular choral music. Voice ranges of singers in the chorus will include Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass. Requirements for singers who wish to participate are: 1. ability to read music, 2. some previous private voice lessons from a professional voice teacher, 3. some prior experience singing in choral groups, 4. submission of an audition recording with at least one classical vocal solo piece performed by you that demonstrates your vocal abilities. Participation in the chorus requires approval of the director after submission of the audition recording. Singers in the chorus will be given the music in advance to learn at home and then will participate in two or three full group rehearsals to refine and polish the quality of the group's performance. Rehearsal dates will be scheduled to accommodate the personal schedules of the singers and located at a place that is convenient for all members to access. Members will be polled to determine what works best for everyone. Occasional social gatherings will be held for the enjoyment of the chorus and friends and supporters. To begin the audition process and ask further question, join the group here on Meetup and you will receive further instructions.
The director, Fred Broer, is a retired college music professor with a doctorate degree in music from Boston University, and forty years of experience directing college and community choral and instrumental groups. Dr. Broer is also an experienced composer, arranger and pianist. The selection of music for the programs will be determined by the director, and will include a variety of musical styles to ensure a broad appeal to the public.
