Audition Information

Auditions are closed.  Thank you to everyone who auditioned...

Currently the Kansas City Symphony Chorus is a 115+ voice ensemble and is in the process
of expanding the membership, as we prepare for the opening of the new Kauffman Performing Arts Center.

**Mid-season auditions are always based on need and not offered unless there is a need for more singers. 

• Bring a solo to sing (best is a classic piece in a foreign language, but you can also bring a favorite song of any kind that shows off your voice) We will provide the KCSC accompanist, so all you need to worry about is preparing your solo. It does not need to be memorized but please bring a second copy for the Accompanist.
• Some sight-singing (typically you will sing your voice-part while the piano plays the other three in a short choral work)
• A "tonal-memory" exercise (the piano will play a short segment of notes and you sing them back)
• Comfortable chatting with Mr. Bruffy and the Audition Panel (the easiest part of the audition)

The chorus rehearses each Monday night from September through late May/early June at Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral. Rehearsals begin at 7:00pm and end at 9:30pm.

During performance week with the Symphony, the KCSC will typically have a piano-only rehearsal with the conductor on Monday evening, and have dress rehearsals on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 7:15-10:00pm. Performances with the Kansas City Symphony are generally Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
