Chorus Auditions

Cleveland Orchestra Children’s and Preparatory Choruses

Auditions for the Cleveland Orchestra Children’s Chorus and Children’s Preparatory Chorus are held annually in the spring. For the audition, we ask that the child sings one verse of “America” (My Country, ‘Tis of Thee) with piano accompaniment in the key of his or her choice and one verse of “America the Beautiful” (Oh beautiful for spacious skies) without accompaniment in the key of D. Singing scales and doing some rhythmic exercises may also be included in the audition, for which an accompanist is provided.

The Children’s Choruses rehearse on Monday nights. Their season begins in September and runs through May. For more information about the Children’s Choruses or to schedule an audition appointment, please call 216-231-7374 or email chorus@clevelandorchestra.com.
