Exmoor Singers is always interested in hearing from experienced
choral singers with good sight reading ability.
Entry is by audition.
What does the audition involve?
Before auditioning, we encourage people to attend a trial
rehearsal. Then, should you wish to audition, we would ask
that you come back the following week. The audition itself is
quite straightforward and consists of a prepared piece of your choice
(accompanist provided), some ear tests and sight reading.
When and where do you rehearse?
We rehearse every Sunday evening from 6-9pm at Imperial College,
South Kensington, London SW7. Click here for directions.
What are the rehearsals like?
The majority of our rehearsals are unaccompanied. We occasionally
use a repetiteur to help us rehearse particularly difficult
pieces, or accompanied choral works. We have a coffee
break half way through. There are occasional long rehearsals
(2-9pm) at which members contribute to a buffet which helps
break up the session a bit!
What financial obligations do you expect from members?
Members are required to pay an annual subscription fee of only £40
per year (concessions are available). Members are also required to
purchase their own music (this is organised through the choir at a
discounted rate).
Are there any solo opportunities?
We regularly give concerts in which there are solo opportunities
for members of the group. These could range from a few bars to
entire arias.
What is the social side like?
Aside from post-rehearsal drinks at The Queen's Arms, we
organise restaurant visits, parties, and trips away. These
social events are an important part of Exmoor Singers.
