    • One non-classical selection (e.g., jazz, folk song, popular, show tune - accompanied or unaccompanied)

    • An unaccompanied sight-reading selection provided at the time of the audition

  • You will be notified via email of your audition time and location prior to the audition date.

  • An accompanist will be provided. Please provide a marked, extra score for the accompanist in a separate 3-ring binder. Pages in plastic sleeves are not recommended.

  • Please arrive warmed up as separate rehearsal facilities cannot be guaranteed.

  • There are no fees associated with your application.

  • We’re looking for unique and exciting voices that are equally at home singing with others as they are singing as soloists.

  • Chanticleer prides itself on being comprised of 12 singers with a wide variety of skills. We hope that you will showcase your strengths. Don’t worry too much if portions of the audition materials requested are outside your comfort zone.

Please refer to the FAQ page for more information.

CHANTICLEER COVID SAFETY POLICY

Chanticleer is committed to the health and safety of our artists and staff.  We will comply with all local, state and CDC guidelines regarding public performances and will update our policy if guidelines change.

You must be fully vaccinated to audition; proof of vaccination is required upon arrival. Full vaccination is defined as completion of the two-dose regimen of Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or one dose of Johnson & Johnson vaccine administered two weeks or more in advance of the event.

We ask that if you have tested positive for COVID-19 within the last 10 days or in the last 14 days have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 that you do not attend the audition. We also request that if you have any COVID-19 symptoms (including shortness of breath, cough, sore throat, loss of smell or taste, fever), that you do not attend the audition. 

While Chanticleer can guarantee that all staff and singers are vaccinated, and we know you will do your part by observing all protocols noted here, we recognize that none of these precautions completely eliminate the risk of exposure to COVID-19.
