No, you don't, so don't stress out. Our door is always open during the start of each season for new performing members. Reading music or other specific musical abilities are not required, although you will be asked to sing something simple for our Artistic Director, Anthony Cabrera, to make sure you can at least carry a tune, and to determine your vocal range. This is called "voice placement" and we all do it. It also gives you a chance to talk to Anthony and ask questions. If you are a returning member you will still need a voice placement if you haven't sung with the chorus for a few years.
