AUDITION EXCERPT

Required Audition Excerpt

*Excerpt has been updated for summer 2021 auditions for the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus.

Prospective singers for the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus are typically asked to prepare an excerpt from a major work in the coming season. Singers are provided with the relevant pages from the score and the same study tracks that chorus members will receive to prepare the work at home. This provides the director a glimpse into your ability to study outside of and prepare for rehearsal.

The required excerpt for summer 2021 is from the third movement of Brahms's Ein Deutsches Requiem, measures 173 through 196.

Study tracks are provided for each voice part, as well as an accompaniment only track and German pronunciation help.
