Sacra/Profana employs 18-24 singers per concert, with the aim of establishing a consistent roster each season. Rehearsals are scheduled in the weeks immediately preceeding each concert event (thus, there is no regular weekly rehearsal during the year). All singers receive a stipend for rehearsals and performances.
All voice types are encouraged to audition. Auditions are held throughout the year at the University of San Diego, by appointment only. Interested singers should possess the following qualities:
- considerable sight-reading skill, and the ability to quickly learn challenging choral music.
- a versatile vocal mechanism, with the ability to control dynamics and vibrato (and to sing without vibrato when necessary).
- a positive attitude and a commitment to visually engaging, high-energy performances.
Auditionees should prepare one aria or art song. An accompanist will be provided, but you must provide sheet music in the proper key.
To schedule an audition, please contact Mark Wischkaemper, Chorus Manager, at mark@sacraprofana.org. Thank you for your interest!
