About the Bach Society

:: Auditions :: 

We warmly invite all Columbia undergraduate and graduate students with an interest in chamber music, orchestral and choral performance to join us. The Bach Society orchestra and chorus auditions for all prospective and returning members at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters.


:: Audition FAQ ::

Will the audition be a frightening experience?

We hope not. The audition is held in an informal and casual atmosphere and is less than 10 minutes long. You can expect a little vocalization and no sight-reading. Bring something (preferably classical/baroque repertoire) to play/sing.

What sections need to be filled?

Chorus: We are looking primarily for altos, tenors, and basses (however, sopranos are always welcome).

Orchestra: We are looking for violas, cellos, double basses, bassoons, horns, trumpets, timpani, organ, harpsichord and piano (wind instruments are always welcome as well). For continuo instruments, we are also looking for accompanists for choral rehearsals and/or for participating in chamber concerts.

Please email us if you have any questions or are interested in auditioning.
