What your audition will look like:

• A bit of solo work (maximum of 32 measures), your choice. Bring music for the accompanist.
• Sight-singing
• An excerpt from Handel's Messiah

It is important for singers to be able to sight-sing, and/or learn their part quickly (whether by ear, using piano, or working with mp3 files). It is also very important to be able to demonstrate your ability to recognize varying styles and be able to adapt your singing, accordingly.

To learn the passage from The Messiah you may download the musical excerpt (PDF file or jpgs) and accompanying mp3. Be able to sing your voice part of "Let us break their bonds asunder" from The Messiah through to letter "B" in the middle of pg 163.
