Auditions

The Richmond Symphony Chorus will hold auditions for prospective sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses in late spring or early summer, for the 2020-21 season.  Please check back periodically for dates.  Click HERE for detailed audition information and to sign up. 

Membership in the Richmond Symphony Chorus is by audition only.  The Chorus rehearses every Tuesday evening (generally 7:30-10:00) at Dominion Energy Center, 612 East Grace Street in Richmond.  from late August through May.  It performs several programs each year, with additional rehearsals taking place during performance weeks. Involvement in the Chorus goes far beyond these weekly rehearsals, however. We are avid fans and patrons of the Richmond Symphony. We participate in smaller (and larger) ensembles on a regular basis. We've also been spotted performing the National Anthem at Flying Squirrels, UR, and VCU games, as well as at the annual opening of the General Assembly in January.
