Read below about our informal 'audition' process.

Want to sing with us?

Do you want to be part of a passionate group of singers, learning about musical traditions from around the world and having fun in the process? Read on!

Who are we looking for?

To be eligible for choir membership, we ask you are:

• able to attend regular weekly rehearsals
• a confident singer who enjoys harmonising with others
• available to perform around once a term (this can vary and will mostly be in the evening or weekend)
• able to fit in with how we work together.  Check out the How We Work page for more info.

The commitments

We practise weekly, on Tuesday evenings, 7-9pm, at the Wilton Bowling Club, 122 Wilton Rd, Wellington.

Our rehearsals are scheduled around school terms.

We expect all members to attend regularly - including our term workshops. Absences impact on our ability to make progress learning new songs, and improve as a choir - that’s why we make a big deal about it. In saying this, we also know that life happens. In this case, we provide resources for you to come up to speed with what you have missed so you don't fall behind.

The audition process

We invite potential members to participate in a Sing with WOSOSI workshop or a couple of our regular practices. This way we can if hear if your vocal range and quality suits the current composition of our choir and you can experience our rehearsal process and check that how we work, works for you.

There is no need to prepare a song and you will not be expected to sing on your own. Just participate with us in warm-up and song practice and ask any of us questions.

Soon after this first practice – and assuming you are still keen on joining – we will get in touch about membership. This may include a meeting with the musical director where you may be asked to sing independently. Again, this is low key and there is no need to prepare anything.

Membership fees

WOSOSI is self-funded. The membership fees collected each term cover the costs of our choir leader, practice space and other expenses. The current fee is $135 per term.

Interested?

If you would like to come and audition for WOSOSI please contact us. We always love to hear from prospective new singers.  
Just head to our Contact Us page and use the form to tell us a little about yourself and one of our committee members will get in touch with you. 

We look forward to hearing from you!
