Audition for Supertonic!
We will be holding auditions for new members early in 2019. We are particularly interested to hear new Tenors and Basses. If you, or someone you know, is interested in auditioning, please send an email to info@supertonic.org.nz, or follow us on Facebook to see when we announce audition details including how to book an audition slot.
See below for information on what to expect when you audition for Supertonic, including dates of concerts for 2019 - this will be updated as information becomes available.
What type of choir is Supertonic?
A traditional SATB choir based in Wellington, NZ. We predominantly sing in a classical style, although we do sometimes sing musical theatre, pop, rock and jazz. Our concerts are polished, thought-provoking, entertaining and accessible, and are performed in prolific and interesting venues. We place an emphasis on singing with excellence, as well as providing a vibrant social environment for our members - we believe the two go together.
Who can audition?
We’re particularly interested in hearing singers in their 20s and 30s who have sung in a high-level choir before, can read music fluently, or have had vocal training. We have around 10 places available in the choir for 2019, and the standard is particularly high for sopranos and altos because of the number of auditions for those sections.
With this said, there is no ‘minimum’ requirement, and the music director will happily listen to anyone who wishes to audition.
What’s in the audition?
Everything you need to know can be found here. It is a closed audition - the only people in the room are you, the musical director and an assistant.
What’s the commitment?
Regular rehearsals are once a week, on Mondays from 6:45pm - 8:45pm in the Wellington CBD. Rehearsals for 2019 start on Monday March 11.
In addition, there is also:
Attendance is strictly monitored.
Are there costs involved?
Yes - there is a subscription fee each year of $80 - $100, plus possible costs for the workshop weekend. We don’t want money to get in the way of full participation though, so we’re always willing to come to alternative arrangements on an individual basis.
Anything else?
Questions around the audition process, the choir or anything at all are welcome - please email info@supertonic.org.nz and we'll get back to you.
