Auditions for New Singers

The City Choir of Washington is holding auditions for new and returning volunteer singers who would like to sing the Brahms Requiem, Maestro Shafer’s valedictory concert as artistic director, at Washington National Cathedral on June 26.

Please email Chorus Manager Emmi Olson at emmilu.olson@citychoir.org for more information and to schedule an audition. All singers must show proof of vaccination, and please note that in accordance with D.C.’s policy, masks are required indoors.

Are you a singer who is dedicated to the art of beautiful choral music? Would you like to sing under the direction of a Grammy Award-winning choral conductor? Are you excited to meet new people who are equally as thrilled about music as you? The City Choir of Washington may be the very group for you.

Auditions for the 2022-2023 season under incoming artistic director Erin Freeman will be held in July. Please stay tuned for more information.


Weekly rehearsals take place on Monday nights, with additional orchestra rehearsals as a concert approaches. Rehearsals are held from 7:15-9:45 p.m. at St. Columba Episcopal Church in Washington, DC.
