Auditions for the Chamber Chorale Auditions for the 2009-2010 Chamber Chorale will take place during New Student Orientation on Friday, 18 September, and during the first three days of Fall Quarter classes on Monday through Wednesday, 21-23 September. Audition sign-ups will be posted on the door of the Choral Studies Office, Braun Music Center, room 119 beginning on Wednesday, 17 September. The Chamber Chorale is open to all Stanford students: undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral fellows. In order to maintain the best possible combination of voices, the entire ensemble is re-auditioned every year. Preliminary auditions consist of vocalizing (with piano support) to determine range and evaluate vowel formation, pitch and rhythm memory exercises, sight singing, and a solo song. Callback auditions consist of hearing all finalists in different voice combinations to determine the best ensemble. The Stanford Chamber Chorale rehearses twice a week: Mondays from noon-1:00 P.M. and Thursdays from 7:00-9:30 P.M. For more information, please contact the director, Professor Stephen Sano. Drop by Professor Sano's office (Braun Music Center 120), telephone (650) 723-1570, or email sano@stanford.edu.
