Founded in 1990, the South Coast Chorale is a community vocal ensemble comprised of individuals who simply enjoy singing and working together. Based in the LGBTQ+ community, the Chorale is proud to be a diverse ensemble that encompasses friends, families & supporters, all of whom are dedicated to building bridges between communities by using music to remind us all that we are more alike than different. Over the years, the Chorale has filled a vital role in helping to enhance the cultural and educational life of greater Long Beach through partnerships with local community organizations. The Chorale has established a reputation for performances that are distinguished for their LGBTQ+ diversity and artistic excellence, receiving community nominations and recognition from local city and state leaders and organizations, as well as audience praise.
We are so excited to announce our auditions for our 35th Season with rehearsals starting on August 26th. Interested choristers should prepare a vocal selection that best demonstrates their vocal ability. You may perform your audition with or without accompaniment, but we ask that in your preparations for an a cappella audition that you make sure to prepare your audition without any extended pauses between phrases. We are happy to provide you with an accompanist, but we ask that you bring 2 copies of your music for the accompanist and our artistic director to follow along. Due to the anticipated number of auditionees, we may ask you to only sing a portion of your prepared selection.
Auditions will be held on August 19th at our rehearsal facility, First Congregational Church of Long Beach between 7:00-9:30 pm. If our time slots fill up, we will add an additional day of auditions on August 21st at the same location and time.
