Who can join the Chorale?
Brisbane Chorale is an auditioned adult SATB choir. Membership is open to male and female singers to join who have good intonation, well produced, pleasant tone quality, and who display good musicianship.
A good standard of musicianship is expected of singers in Brisbane Chorale. However, if you have a good voice and display strong aural musicianship (a good ear) and excellent intonation, the Music Director will take a lack of confidence in sight-singing into consideration.
Enquiries are particularly encouraged from tenors and basses, as there are currently fewer places available for sopranos and altos.
If you would like to observe the Brisbane Chorale in action you are very welcome to attend a rehearsal or two before you audition. Come along and meet the Music Director, watch and hear us rehearse.
We also have membership available for people who have a passion for choral music and are interested in supporting the Brisbane Chorale but do not want to sing with us, or are not in a position to do so.
