Audition For C4
C4 auditions singers, composer/singers, conductor/singers (or all three!) with excellent music reading skills about once per quarter. Please use this contact page to request an appointment.
The audition generally consists of vocalizing, solo a cappella singing of a section from a (supplied) piece prepared in advance, sight-reading with emphasis on pitch/interval recognition as well as rhythm, and blending exercises along with members of C4.
