The Elizabethan Syngers
Evoking the Past. Entertaining the Future.
AUDITION ANNOUNCEMENT:
The Elizabethan Syngers are holding auditions for its 2025
performance season!
We are currently scheduling auditions for: Tenors, Basses, Altos and Sopranos.
The Elizabethan Syngers is an a cappella choral arts organization of
volunteer singers dedicated to preserving, promoting, and performing
music of and inspired by the Renaissance era. We are seeking
confident performers who sing with imagination and have an affinity
for theatrical presentation. Strong basic musicianship and mature
vocal skills are required. Candidates must be capable and comfortable
in a fast-paced learning environment and must be willing to commit
the necessary personal time to be prepared for rehearsals and
performances.
The audition process includes Rhythmic Sight Singing, Melodic Sight
Singing, Aural Recall and Harmonic Acuity. The candidate will sing
without accompaniment any song of his or her choosing (such as a
hymn or other familiar song). The audition will be approximately 15
minutes in duration. There is no audition fee.
Founded in 1971, The Elizabethan Syngers is the longest-running
musical act at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival.
