EVENTS: St. Cecelia Choir auditions to be held

St. Cecilia Chamber Choir is holding auditions for all voice parts as they begin preparing our December Ceremony of Lessons and Carols concert. Drawing inspiration from the world-famous King’s College Cambridge Service of Lessons and Carols, the program blends carols both sacred and secular with seasonal readings, accompanied by a professional string quartet, performed in beautiful Bowdoin College Chapel and Damariscotta Baptist Church.

St. Cecilia Chamber Choir is a fully-auditioned community group comprised of singers from talented youth to seasoned performers.

Singers wishing to audition should have good vocal control, and sopranos and altos should be able to sing without vibrato. The ability to read music is preferred, but those who cannot read may participate by spending extra time learning the music at home with the aid of provided practice materials.

Rehearsals are Wednesday evenings at 7 p.m., starting on September 13, at St. Andrew’s Church, Glidden St. in Newcastle.

To schedule an audition, call Linda Blanchard at (207) 380-2768 or email audition@ceciliachoir.org. For more information about the Choir, please visit our website at ceciliachoir.org.
