CHANTICLEER AudItions

BASS OPENING

Chanticleer has an immediate bass vacancy and will hear bass singers on a rolling basis throughout the ‘26-’27 season. Please submit initial materials through the Digital Preliminary Submission form. If it seems like you might be a good fit for the group, we will get in touch to schedule an audition with the ensemble while we’re on the road.

OTHER VOICE TYPES

While there are no other immediate openings in the ensemble, Chanticleer is always on the lookout for unique and talented singers. Every year, we accept audition materials from basses, baritones, tenors, and countertenors in order to maintain a roster of qualified individuals should vacancies arise. Based on those materials, we invite a handful of singers to San Francisco for an in-person audition the second week of February.

Initial materials should be submitted online through the Digital Preliminary Submission form. The second and final round will take place in San Francisco. Finalists will receive a $500 travel stipend.

The first round, digital submission deadline is December 1, 2026.

Finalists will be notified by January 8, 2027.

The San Francisco, in-person final round will take place February 12-14, 2027.
