vOCA vARINA aUDITIONS
|
wHO IS vOCAvARINA?VocaVarina is a small world class vocal ensemble focusing on intermediate to advanced choral music of all all styles. They quite often sing a capella; sometimes in three to five part harmony. When they are accompanied, they are joined by the Varina Sinfonia, a small chamber orchestra.
This ensemble has performing for years in this area providing music for such venues as the Governor's Mansion, the Historic State Capital, The Tryon Palace and Airborne and Special Operations Museum...and plan on continuing. But, when they say they are "world class", they mean it literally! Voca has performed in London, Florence, Venice, Rome, Talinn and Helsinki, Finland! |
?when do we perform/where do we rehearse?
VocaVarina has weekly rehearsal on Wednesdays from 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. We occassionally have a Saturday morning or afternoon workshop to refine upcoming concert material.
Rehearsals are held at the MbS Studios in Fuquay Varina, near the FuquayVarina High School.
We generally have two major concert programs a year (Christmas and a Spring Program) which has been followed recently with an optional performance and educational tour somewhere in Europe. Rumors have it that we are looking at either Ireland or France.

ALL MEMBERS of VocaVarina are free of tuition. This is entirely scholarship group of dedicated singing musicians. All instruction and music is provided at no charge.
The only costs associated with the ensemble are for concert/performance attire and, if so opted, the cost of the summer tour.

So there is an audition???? hOW MANY OPERAS DO i NEED TO SING???!
The audition is really rather simple: your voice range will be checked and evaluated and you will be taught a simple song to see how how easily you match pitches. What we are looking for are students with good vocal skills (discovered or not!) who have a desire to to do their best and work (and have fun) in a fast moving musical ensemble.
