Auditions

Queen City Chorale is a project-based choir, so our roster of singers changes nearly every performance. We accept auditions year-round—we’d love to hear you!

Your audition will include vocalization and a short sightreading excerpt. We’ll also take the opportunity to get to know you and why you’re interested in joining QCC.

Why Join QCC?

  • Cassandra Hernandez | Oakdale Middle School, Choir Director

    "Something otherworldly happens when you combine teamwork, artistic vulnerability, a mission, heaps of talent, preparation, and community support. I am fortunate to experience the magical fusion of those elements every time I sing with QCC, and judging by our audiences' consistently spirited reactions to our art, they would agree as well."

  • Susan LaBarr | Walton Music, Editor

    “Singing with the Queen City Chorale was one of the most musically-fulfilling experiences I have had in many years. The tone and the expression of this group is of the highest level, and the programming by conductor Kenny Kabak is thoughtful, creative, compelling, and appealing to both singers and audience members. I have been fortunate to experience QCC as both a singer and an audience member, and both have left me changed for the better.”

  • Jared Swope | Professional Baritone

    “Drawing people from numerous professions and schedules, the Queen City Chorale provided a unique opportunity for high-level artistry to occur in a condensed schedule. Though our time in rehearsal is brief, the culminating product comes from a like-minded vision from every member of the ensemble. I loved that no two concerts or rehearsals ever felt the same, yet somehow we always felt a familial tie to the musicians and music involved.”

  • Heather Blackwell | Holman Middle School, Choir Director

    “Being part of Queen City Chorale has been a transformative experience - each project has been musically challenging and inspiring. Kenny’s passion for choral music and the singers is so clear and I consider myself blessed to be a part of such an incredible and unique opportunity.”
