Online Submission Process:
Please follow the instructions for the online submission form below. All resumes must be in PDF format and all audio files must be in MP3 format. No video or YouTube submissions will be accepted. Please be aware that due to increased user activity, applicants submitting materials in the last hour before the submission deadline may have complications uploading their materials. Candidates are recommended to submit their materials early, in case they run into any technical difficulties. If the process is not fully completed by 5:00pm on Friday, January 10, 2020 you will not be considered for an audition.
Invited Audition Process
Singers invited to audition with the Los Angeles Master Chorale, will be asked to sing for the Associate Conductor. Singers should prepare two contrasting selections that best demonstrate the quality and versatility of their voice. A pianist will be provided for all auditions. Please bring any necessary copies of your music for the accompanist.
During the audition, singers will also participate in a sight-singing exercise to evaluate their musicianship and sight-reading ability. This may also include a language test, in which the singer could be asked to sight read text in Latin, Spanish, and German in order to evaluate the individual's basic level of familiarity with the rules of diction in those languages.
Selected singers, who have passed the first round of auditions, will be invited to a second audition with the Artistic Director. The audition process will be the same basic format as the preliminary audition, with the addition that auditionees will sight-sing brief excerpts from standard works, as part of a quartet.
