Auditions

come Sing With Us!

You like to sing Bach and Handel and live for a big group melisma. But you also love to float in the lush harmonic pool that is Lauridsen or Whitacre. Oh, but minor seconds are fun, too, like Gene Puerling arrangements or some smooth beat-boxing Pentatonix tunes. But really, at the end of the day, what you are belting in your car is Lizzo and Hamilton. For you, music is music is music is music — especially when done well with a great community of singers.

If musical variety is your jam, then we may be your next musical home. We select soloists for both classical and contemporary a cappella works from within the group, so both choral and solo voices are welcome!

PEV has completed auditions for the 2024-25 season, but may schedule mid-season auditions if needed. Please fill out an inquiry form below to be notified of future auditions.

Auditioners should prepare for the following:

• Sing two contrasting solo pieces, a cappella. Each selection should be no more than one minute long and can be a segment of a larger piece. The pieces should demonstrate your range and vocal abilities, and it’s important they be in contrasting styles (e.g.: a legato classical piece and a lively/faster pop selection would be ideal).

• Sight singing! Music will be screen-shared, and auditionees will have a few moments to review before attempting. A starting pitch will be provided, and auditionees are allowed to restart up to one time as needed. 

• Share what interests you about PEV and your personal or vocal goals for joining the group. 

Interested? Fill out our inquiry form. (Not quite sure? Inquire anyway, and we’ll be happy to answer your questions.)

Special invitation for arrangers! Every spring we feature in-house arrangements at our popular Jazz & Pop show. Workshop your creations with us and bring them to stage!
