The Carolina Master Chorale, the Grand Strand’s oldest performing arts organization will be holding open audition for its 2007-2008 season. During its 25th anniversary year, the group, directed by Dr. Tim Koch, will be involved in seven major productions, performing in venues from Pawleys Island to North Myrtle Beach and Conway, followed by a summer 2008 tour of Spain.

Prospective members are encouraged to bring a prepared piece, preferably with sheet music, though this is not required. An accompanist will be provided. Previous choral experience is required. Auditions last between 10 and 15 minutes and consist of simple vocal exercises to determine range, vocal color, reading and auditory skill levels.

Audition dates are August 9, 13, 16, 20, 23, and 27, 2007. Auditions will be held from 5:00 to 8:00pm each night. Rehearsals are Thursday nights in Myrtle Beach beginning August 30th. If you are interested, please call the Carolina Master Chorale office at (843) 444-5774 to schedule an audition.
