  Kulshan Chorus SOLOIST INFORMATION


Hello to potential solo auditioners in the Kulshan Chorus,

For anyone who is not familiar with how this process works, I will be glad to discuss it and will provide music for the songs that you might be interested in considering for audition. You may audition as many solos as you wish and may re-audition as many times as you would like prior to the closing date. In the event that a song has no audition, or no successful audition that "knocks my socks off," hence no soloist, then the choices will be to drop that song from the concert list, have soloists assigned to a particular song by me, end up with only the few soloists who have auditioned singing all the solos, or have me sing them - and I'm not sure that anyone would want that.

Please DO NOT wait until the last minute to schedule an audition. My calendar may be full, and cause inconvenience all around.

I do want to thank those who have and yet plan to audition this season. As always, your time and effort in preparation is fully appreciated. I thank you, the community thanks you.

Yours, in waiting,
Roger Griffith
Musical Director
