Nashville Symphony Chorus

The Nashville Symphony Chorus is holding auditions for new singers in all voice types from August 7-9, 2025, at the Blair School of Music at Vanderbilt University. This all-volunteer chorus is the vocal arm of the Nashville Symphony Orchestra and performs alongside the orchestra in a variety of masterworks and concert events. A high level of proficiency in singing and weekly attendance at rehearsals (Mondays, 7 - 9:30 PM) are expected of all members.

The auditions for the 2025/26 season will consist of:

1: One prepared solo piece (preferably classical or contemporary art song, but any piece sung in a classical style can be considered) that you will bring two copies of to the audition. This should be a selection that represents your voice in the best possible way.

2: Vocalization demonstrating your usable vocal range. A pianist will be provided.

3: Sight-reading an exercise or two of moderate difficulty.

4: Taking a short musicianship quiz that demonstrates your understanding of reading choral music.
