Asheville Symphony Chorus
Auditions
Do you love to make music? We'd love for you to join ASC and help us bring the beauty of classical music and beyond to Western North Carolina. We rehearse once per week on Tuesday nights from 7pm-9:30pm at First Congregational United Church of Christ in downtown Asheville. We warm up. We practice hard. We have a lot of fun.
ASC holds auditions each August and January. For the 2024-2025 season, auditions will run as follows:
At this time, we are hearing auditions for all voice parts, but are particularly seeking tenors, basses, and altos.
About the spring program: ASC's spring program tells the story of royal celebrations — weddings, coronations, and anniversaries. Joined by Asheville Youth Choirs, ASC will present an evening of pieces written for kings and queens. Featuring works by composers Sir William McKie, William Mathias, Will Todd, and others, the concert's twin crowning glories will be W.A. Mozart's Coronation Mass and G. F. Handel's Zadok the Priest.
ASC is committed to diversity and inclusivity in our roster. We welcome auditions from adults of all vocal backgrounds. If you've sung in a church choir, college chorale, jazz choir, musical theater, opera, a band, or just in the shower, we'd love to hear you and see if we'd be a good fit together.
