Audition
試音
• We welcome any one passionate about choral music with basic knowledge in music theory, moderate sight-singing ability to come to auditions. Prior vocal training or experience singing in a choir is not a must.
• Most important of all is your commitment. This means consistently attending rehearsals and practicing a certain amount at home before weekly rehearsal. Listening or singing along to CDs can be very helpful
• We regularly hold auditions for those who are interested. Applicants will be auditioned by the Music Director.
• 我們歡迎合唱音樂愛好者，及對正統聲樂有興趣，音準，有基本樂理常識，有相當視唱聽音能力的朋友參加。申請者並不一定需要合唱經驗或曾經接受聲樂訓練。
• 最重要的是你投入的參與，包括經常出席練習及能在家自行練習和聆聽唱碟。
• 我們會定期舉行試音。試音由我們的音樂總監主持。
