"SOMETHING DIFFERENT" A CAPELLA ENSEMBLE - Needed: TENOR, BASS




Something Different is part of the Adult Recreational Choir Society (ARCS)
We are a balanced, 12 member, SATB ensemble that focuses on a capella music and providing a challenging yet fun choral environment. We are looking to expand to 16 members. The ensemble rehearses Wednesday evenings. Full details can be found at  www.up2something.org/content/something-different

We are in need of one tenor and one bass to expand and maintain our balanced division of parts (soprano and alto spots to be filled from previous auditions). Auditions will be held early January, potentially Jan 8 or 15. A background in choral singing and some sight-reading skill is a plus but mostly we are looking for enthusiastic individuals that can match pitch, be coach-able, work hard and love singing.

Interested parties should reply to the Director at steven.morton@hotmail.ca
