The Edinburgh Singers are always on the look out for
enthusiastic and talented singers.
How many concerts do we sing?
We typically perform three main concerts a year (autumn,
December, summer), with occasional extras, such as contributing to
the BBC's Songs of Praise or carol singing for different
organisations.
How often do we rehearse?
We rehearse once a week, on a Thursday evening, in central
Edinburgh. Typically, there is also a longer, daytime rehearsal on
a weekend before a concert. In addition, any other
performances will have dedicated rehearsals which will be
communicated nearer the time.
How do I join?
We aim to audition new members at the beginning of each semester
(September and January). Our next auditions are on 21
September 2013. Please contact us and
tell us your voice part (Soprano, Alto, Tenor or Bass) and a little
bit about your singing history, and we'll get in touch nearer the
time.
Do you need to be able to read music?
Yes, we do expect all members to be able to read music, and to
sight-read at least a bit, so that we can learn music more
quickly.
