The Santa Clarita Master Chorale, a premier community choral ensemble dedicated to performing high-quality choral works, has announced open auditions for its upcoming season.

Talented vocalists from the Santa Clarita Valley and beyond are invited to showcase their skills and join a vibrant group of singers committed to musical excellence and community engagement.

Auditions will be held on Saturday, Sept. 13, at Valencia United Methodist Church, 25718 McBean Parkway, Valencia CA 91355.

This is an opportunity for singers of all voice parts to become part of a renowned community chorale that has delighted audiences for 25 years with diverse repertoires ranging from classical masterpieces to contemporary arrangements.

To audition, participants should prepare vocalizing exercises and a solo of their choice.

Appropriate selections include a classical piece, art song, or Broadway solo that highlights vocal range and artistry.

Additionally, auditions will include a brief sight-reading component, as this skill is essential for membership in the Chorale. Singers are requested to bring three copies of their music, a professional accompanist will be provided.

The Chorale particularly encourages high school students under 18 years of age to explore its Intern Program. This exciting initiative offers talented young musicians the chance to sing alongside accomplished Chorale members for an entire season, gaining invaluable performance experience, mentorship and exposure to professional-level choral singing.

Interested students are urged to contact the Chorale directly for more details on this enriching opportunity. Call (661) 383-1776 or email info@scmasterchorale.org.
