March 5, 2014The Monmouth Civic Chorus will hold its annual vocal scholarship auditions for New Jersey high school seniors planning to pursue higher education. Auditions will be held by appointment on Saturday, May 10, in Red Bank. The application deadline is May 3 and the application fee is $10.
For information or an audition appointment, call 732-933-9333, e-mail scholarship@monmouthcivicchorus.org or visit monmouthcivicchorus.org and click Support Us. A total of $2,500 in scholarships is available to be awarded to students of outstanding vocal promise. Contestants must be prepared to perform two selections from the standard vocal repertoire (opera, operetta, art songs, oratorio or Gilbert and Sullivan), with at least one selection in Italian, French or German. Show music is not acceptable. Contestants will be judged on technique, choice of material, poise and musicianship.
An accompanist will be provided if needed. Last season, the First Place winner was bass/baritone Andrew Moore, Point Pleasant, who was awarded $1,200. The Second Place winner was mezzo-soprano Kelly Koerwer, Shrewsbury, who was awarded $500.
