JOIN US!

The Valley Chamber Chorale seeks extraordinary singers to make extraordinary music with us!

We are looking for all voice parts to join the VCC community for our 2025-2026 season, with an emphasis on Tenors and Basses! We encourage people of all races, ethnicities, abilities, and gender identities to consider auditioning.

Auditions are now open and will be held by appointment only. Our regular rehearsals take place on Monday evenings from 7:00-9:30 pm at Trinity Lutheran Church in Stillwater. A full commitment to the performance calendar is expected. We have one concert in September, four during the Christmas holiday season, one in March and one in May. Specific dates will be available in August or September.

To request an audition, simply submit the form below and our Artistic Director Daryl Timmer will get back to you confirm an audition date and time.

Audition Requirements

You will be asked to vocalize, to sight-read two short choral pieces, and to repeat short phrases by ear. Additionally, we ask that you prepare one short solo piece of your choosing, in any language. This could be an art song, aria, hymn, or folk song. Essentially, we want to hear your vocal quality and musicianship. An accompanist will be provided. Although we strongly encourage you to sing a piece with accompaniment, you may sing a cappella. The solo should be no more than 2 minutes in length; no repeats. You do not need to sing from memory at the audition.

What level of choral training do I need?

Chorale members should have music reading skills and past experience as a singer or instrumentalist, as well as familiarity with singing in foreign languages. Our chorale members come from all walks of life - music educators or trained musicians to physicians, attorneys, teachers, students and other non-music professionals.
