Upcoming Auditions:
|
If you have a passion for choral music and desire to sing with a Hawai‘i-based professional choir, then this is a perfect opportunity!
Auditions are held every August and January (before our Fall and Spring seasons begin) at the University of Hawaii Music Department, Room 36. Interested singers must fill out the Audition Inquiry Form to schedule an audition. After the form is received, our Managing Director will connect with you to schedule an audition time and send you an audition application, which is to be filled out and brought to the audition. Any singer who is 18 years of age or has graduated from high school may audition. Auditions include singing an art song, aria, or hymn of your choosing (memorization optional). In addition to singing a selected piece, singers will be assessed on their musicality through vocalization, sight singing, and pitch retention. Please bring 2 copies of sheet music; an accompanist will be provided. |
Requirements for Singers
Acceptance into the O‘ahu Choral Society (OCS) is by audition. Chorus members agree to abide by a set of requirements designed to support the goal of providing professional-quality musical performances in the state of Hawaiʻi.
Membership Dues
Membership dues are $250 per year/season. *Dues are waived for enrolled college students. Should anyone foresee the annual dues as a financial hardship that would hinder them from joining our choir, they may reach out to our Board Chair and/or Treasurer (after acceptance into the choir) to discuss a payment plan or apply for a partial or full scholarship. All student waivers and scholarships are granted and made available at the discretion of the OCS Board. Recipients of a scholarship or waived dues will be required to provide volunteer hours towards the organization.
