Prospective members are invited to audition in the fall at the Xavier Center on the Campus of the College of St. Elizabeth,Convent Station NJ.
If you plan to audition, you must contact Becky Adams, Membership Chair, at beckyb491@gmail.com. The audition is an opportunity for the Music Director and the Chorus staff to meet prospective members and answer questions.
The Music Director is the sole assessor of vocal abilities.
The Music Director listens for a healthily-produced, resonant tone which is even in quality throughout the range. The candidate should be able to sing pure vowels and to vary the volume without distorting vowel, pitch, or tone quality. Strong rhythmic and pitch skills are vital. See auditions for details. After the audition, the Membership Chair will contact the prospective members with the results. Upon successful completion of the audition, the new member then has one week to submit payment of dues based on the established payment schedule. We encourage prospective members to discuss our dues structure with the Membership chair prior to or during the audition process.
The Masterwork Chorus rehearses every Wednesday evening from 7:30pm to 10:00pm beginning in early September and concluding in May. Rehearsals are held in Xavier Center, on the campus of the College of Saint Elizabeth, 2 Convent Road, Convent Station, New Jersey (click here for directions). Attendance at rehearsal is mandatory and absences should be discussed with the Membership chair and the Music Director.
In addition to the full chorus, Masterwork sponsors two smaller ensembles. All members of the Masterwork Chorus are eligible to audition for these ensembles. Read more about the Masterwork Chamber and Touring Choirs.
