FAQs:
Is an audition required?
Bel Canto Chorus is an auditioned chorus. Auditions are typically held four times per year, typically on a Saturday at North Shore Congregational Church, a week or two after rehearsals have begun for the corresponding concert. We invite you to attend the first rehearsal or two of a concert series (Try It You'll Like It rehearsals , orTIYLI) to make sure Bel Canto is right for you before auditioning.
TIYLI rehearsals and audition dates are located on the Season Calendar.
