Do you like to sing, and would you like to join New Wave Singers of Baltimore?
We will hold auditions for the Fall 2023 semester sometime during the month of August 2023. We will post audition dates and times by early August.
If you are interested in auditioning for New Wave Singers of Baltimore, please fill out the New Member Audition Form. Once you have filled out the form you will be contacted by a member of the chorus to let you know more about audition dates and times. At our audition, a member of the chorus will greet you, and you will sing privately with the Artistic Director, Tim Gillham. He will check your vocal range and your ability to match pitch. You do not have to prepare any music in advance. You do not have to read music. Please fill out the New Member Audition Form prior to coming to the audition. If you have any questions or need more information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
If you think New Wave Singers sounds like the chorus for you, please fill out the form by August 1st, if possible.
We will begin rehearsing on August 29, 2023. We rehearse every Tuesday night from 7 PM to 9:00 PM at Grace United Methodist Church. Should the Covid restrictions be eased (see below) we may return to rehearsing 7-9:15/9:30.
During the Fall semester we will have back-to-back concerts in early December. A Saturday evening concert and a Sunday afternoon concert. Singers are required to attend both concerts as well as the dress rehearsal which will take place on Friday the same weekend as the concerts and the Performance Taping which will take place on the first Tuesday after the concert weekend.
When other performance opportunities come up during the semester, we encourage all singers to participate. Chorus members are expected to participate fully in rehearsals and sing in all standard performances and most outreach performances.
NOTE: Our Chorus wants to keep singers as safe as possible during this pandemic. Effective 7/1/2021, New Wave Singers of Baltimore has established a policy that all singers must be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and provide proof of vaccination to the Chorus prior to attending any in-person rehearsal. Masking may still be required during rehearsals depending on any Covid restrictions set up by the Federal Government, State of Maryland, Baltimore City, or our venue (Grace United Methodist Church.) The Board of Directors for the chorus will inform any auditioners of any required Covid protocols.
