One professional bass and one professional alto are needed to supplement the general protestant chancel choir of 12 singers, consisting of volunteers and a paid quartet. Section leaders must have excellent sight-reading skills and be able to blend into a choral sound. Previous church choir experience is desirable. Repertoire is broad-ranging and eclectic. Additional opportunities for monthly solos for a 0745 service, in addition to some weddings and funerals.
Pay is $75 per call. Rehearsals are on Thursday evenings from 8:00-9:30 p.m. There is one Sunday morning service at 10:30 a.m., with occasional additional services throughout the year. The choir sings year-round with some rehearsals off in the summer. The one year contract begins October 1, 2008.

Sing with The Capital Hearings!
posted 9/2/10
The Capital Hearings (www.thecapitalhearings.com), a recently-formed 12-voice mixed ensemble of young professionals, has openings for basses. Our repertoire includes classical, contemporary and pop tunes -- everything from Palestrina, Durufle, and Whitacre through Gershwin, McCartney, and modern hits. Our current members all sing in DC's large symphonic choruses, have church choir jobs and/or work as music teachers. But most importantly, this is a group that enjoys good music (of all genres), good wine (of all vintages), and great company (of all voice types).
Rehearsals are typically held on alternate Wednesday evenings through the fall and spring, sometimes increasing to weekly rehearsals as performances may require. We usually rehearse in NW DC (Cleveland Park), but occasionally on Capitol Hill. Some future performances may be paid. The ability to listen & blend in a classical choral style is essential, and familiarity with other styles -- vocal jazz, contemporary a cappella, etc. -- is a plus. Good sight-reading skills are also valued since we often learn some new music at each rehearsal.
Interested singers should contact music director Dileep Srihari (info@thecapitalhearings.com or (202)-271-3378) for further information or to schedule an audition.
