Audition
Auditions are generally held in May and August for each season, but Artistic Director Chris Ludwa is always delighted to hear new voices of interested individuals throughout the year as occasionally there is need to add additional singers at various times during a concert season. An audition consists of vocalization and a brief, painless warm-up, a brief selection (usually from Handel’s Messiah), and sight reading. If you are interested in joining the ranks of Encore Vocal Arts, please call 317-576-7676 or email chrisludwa@yahoo.com. Rehearsals are Monday nights from 7-9:30 p.m.
