Auditions for CCL occur in May, August, late December and early January and are scheduled in a group format. Nothing “special” needs to be prepared. The audition takes approximately 20 minutes.
Auditions for the Children’s Choir of Lancaster are held by appointment only. Please contact the director to schedule an appointment:
- Phone: (717) 575-6945
- Email: lisa_sempsey@childrenschoiroflancaster.com
Auditions will include:
- Teacher led vocal warm-up.
- Singers will learn a new song.
- Read simple rhythmic and melodic excerpts in order to assess their current level of music reading skills. (Ability to read music is NOT required to audition for CCL. Singers will be taught to read music as a part of rehearsals.)
