Sing with Summer Voices!

Here are details about our 2025 Summer Voices program. Auditions are not required to participate in the Summer Voices chorus, so all are welcome and encouraged to join, regardless of whether you have prior experience singing in a choir. It’s a great way to get to know our choir (and hopefully help you decide to audition in the fall!).

Rehearsal and Audition info

Rehearsals are held on Tuesday evenings from 7:00–9:30 pm in the Parish Hall of St. Thomas More Catholic Church, with the larger chorus rehearsing from 7:00 to 8:20 and Cantari from 8:30 to 9:30. Voices performs concerts in December and May and occasionally in July for our Summer chorus (which doesn’t require an audition).

If you are seeking an inspirational and exciting choral opportunity, we would love for you to join us.  Schedule an audition by filling out the above form.  Our membership chair will contact you and schedule an audition time.

The audition consists of meeting our conductor, Dr. Stephen Futrell, singing some accompanied vocal warm-ups, and singing a prepared song that you provide. Bring a piece that is in a good range for your voice and in a legato style. Songs can range from folk songs, to selections from musicals or operas, art songs, and hymns. If you do not have a song for the audition, Dr. Futrell has many familiar selections on hand. He will be listening for range, resonant vocal quality, your ability to sing in tune and to project your voice.
If you choose to also audition for Cantari, there will be a tune for you to sight read.

Financial Aid

Scholarships are available for those needing assistance with chorus dues. If you need financial aid, please fill out the Financial Aid Application and submit it along with your registration form.
