Still time to join the choir!
Voices in the Wind, the newest auditioned choir covering the whole Wellington region, and based in Porirua, has one more audition date available before the new season starts. This will be held on Wednesday 5 February at St Barnabas Church in Mana (Porirua), although audition slots can be individually set up for future Wednesday nights as well if you are not available on the 5th. Auditions are light, but detailed enough to give us a sense of your capability. We do NOT need you to have sung in choirs before, although reading music is a decided advantage.
The first year was amazing, with 15 public performances, lots of fun, numerous standing ovations, and fantastic music throughout. If you have ever thought of singing with a group of highly talented and supportive individuals, this is the choir for you! And we have another year of terrific music and opportunities already lined up.
Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings, and location is Mana (Porirua), very convenient to everywhere, with good public transportation and parking. Voices in the Wind cover a huge range of repertoire at a high quality level, yet we ensure that we are accessible to both singers and audiences alike. Fun and fellowship are both in abundant supply.
To sign up for an audition (rehearsals begin on 12 February), please contact our membership secretary Linda van Milligan at lindavanmilligan@gmail.com. If this date is not suitable for you, contact us anyway and we can work out an alternative date for an audition. Give it a go – you will only regret it if you don’t!
