New for 2008-09 - Young Men's Ensemble

The New Jersey Youth Chorus is proud to announce that a Young Men’s Ensemble will be added to its choral music education program, beginning in the fall of 2008. The Ensemble is for boys in grades 7 – 12, with changing and changed voices. Rehearsals will be held at the Xavier Center, on the campus of the College of St. Elizabeth in Convent Station, on Monday evenings from 6:00 – 8:00 PM. The literature will include a wide variety of styles, including classical, folk, gospel and contemporary.

AUDITION PROCEDURES

Students will be auditioned in groups of 2 - 3. The Director will consider the quality of the voice and intonation (singing in tune) along with the quality of musicianship. If accepted, we use the musical information from the audition to determine placement within the choral program. You do not have to know everything to pass the audition!

QUALIFICATIONS

IMPORTANT: Please arrive 15 minutes before the audition to complete the paperwork. You are expected to be warmed up vocally ahead of time. At least one parent must accompany each child to the audition.
