 New Child Members
The
Chorus of Westerly's first round of new child auditions (for the 2010-11
season) took place in June. However, we will still be accepting new
child members through the early fall. To arrange a time to meet with Mr.
Kent and discuss your child singing with the Chorus, parents of
prospective children should call the Chorus of Westerly office to
arrange a special appointment. Mr. Kent's availability during the
summer is limited, but the office will work to find a time that works
for both parties. If children are interested in joining the Chorus and
going to August 2010's Choir Camp, they will need to be heard by Mr.
Kent prior to July 21 (and their are no guarantees that can be arranged
at this date). However, if children are not going to camp and wish to
sing in the fall, they will find ample times to meet with Mr. Kent in
early September.
No musical experience or sight reading is
required for children between the ages of 8 and 18 to join the Chorus of
Westerly. The "audition" with Mr. Kent is very relaxed and easy. Mr.
Kent will engage the young singer in a few vocal exercises in order to
hear the child's tone. It is also a time for parents to meet with Mr.
Kent and discuss the requirements of singers. Singers must be 8 years
old by October 1, 2010 in order to join for this fall.
The children of the Chorus of Westerly
sing with the adult members in classical concerts in November and May,
Christmas Pops in December, the holiday pageant ‘A Celebration of
Twelfth Night’ in January, and Summer Pops in
Wilcox Park in June. All child members are also invited to attend choir
camp
for a week of fun in August, held at Camp
Ogontz in the White
Mountains of New Hampshire.
To make an appointment,
please call
the Chorus of Westerly at (401) 596-8663 or email Lee
Eastbourne at lee@chorusofwesterly.org.
