Our first concert will be the Pueblo Christmas Festival on 12/3
(WITH ORCHESTRA!)
Rehearsals begin Oct. 3
Here is the rehearsal schedule
Passionate about music and have a love for singing? Look no further! You are invited to audition for the Pueblo Festival Chorus.
Auditions take place in the fall, but we are delighted to hear from enthusiastic singers at any time. To express your interest in auditioning, simply complete the form provided below. For any inquiries or questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the music director, Neal Figueroa.
Time Commitment
Rehearsals are 7-9pm on Tuesday nights, with extra rehearsals the week leading into performances. The Pueblo Festival Choir will give two to three concerts per year in collaboration with the Pocket Philharmonic Orchestra.
Financial Commitment (Free to join!)
Each chorister is required to commit to the promotion of this new group by pre-selling 4 tickets, per concert. This ensures that we have great, full audiences for our performances and allows participation in the choir to remain free. Alternatively, you may sell program ads that equal the value of the tickets or any combination of the two.
Audition
We invite singers of all voice types to audition for the Pueblo Festival Chorus. Prepare one or two vocal solos that showcase your best vocal qualities. We welcome foreign language works as well. A pianist will be provided, so remember to bring a copy of your music for the accompanist. Need help finding music? You may choose selections from this list of common audition works. You may also use hymns or musical theatre selections to showcase your voice.
Express your interest by completing the online audition form. The director will reach out to you to schedule a time for your audition. If the scheduled time is not suitable for you, we are more than willing to make alternative arrangements. The audition itself will last approximately ten minutes, and we promise to inform you of the result within one week. We eagerly await the opportunity to hear your talent and welcome you into the Pueblo Festival Chorus!
Why join?
Members enjoy the strong sense of community that comes from singing with others. For some, it offers a much-needed escape, a cherished part of their week that’s entirely separate, allowing them to engage in this truly cool and rewarding endeavor. Standing on stage can be an electrifying experience– a rush like no other.
Perhaps you are drawn to the immense emotions evoked by music, or maybe you have a desire to express yourself through song. Whatever your motivation may be, we invite you to audition and share your talent with us.
