Would you like to join The Purcell Singers? We are always happy to hear from potential new singers who would like to audition for us. As well as holding annual audition evenings, we also audition ad hoc throughout the year.
Our Next Audition Date:
We will be holding auditions in April and May 2024 - find out more about how to apply here: Auditions
Rehearsals and Commitments
We are a top-rate ensemble who perform in venues across London, the UK and internationally; take part in classical recordings, soundtracks and movie trailers.
We rehearse in a number of churches, usually within central London. We do not meet every week, but instead book a short series of rehearsals in the weeks preceding a concert - usually four to six rehearsals, pending the repertoire.
About you
We welcome auditions for all voice parts. Please note that this choir performs at a very high standard, with limited rehearsal. We therefore expect all singers to be good sight readers, and be willing to look at music between rehearsals.
If you think this describes you, please contact our administrator Jessica - admin@purcellsingers.org - today to book your audition, and become part of our friendly and talented group of musicians.
Audition Details
Singers are asked to prepare a piece no more than 4 minutes long which shows off their voice well. Auditions may last up to 15 minutes, as there will also be a short sightreading test, and you may be asked to sing some scales.
