Announcing AUDITIONS for Bella’s 2012-13 Season: Sing Out Loud!
Do you love to sing? It’s time to audition for Bella! If you’re motivated to sing and will be entering grades 6-12, we’d love to hear from you. Low-key auditions are now being scheduled for two choirs that represent unique opportunities for next year:
Bella Voce(“beautiful voice”) is a premiere experience in women’s choral music for young women in grades 9-12. The choir learns and performs music in a way that is not only challenging but also envigorating and fulfilling. Beyond being a singer in the Bella sisterhood, you will also engage in community outreach activities which bring music out more personally in your life and the lives of those around us.
Bella Fiore(“beautiful blossom”) is a brand new choir beginning in the fall of 2012 for girls entering grades 6-8. This choir will focus on grounding singers in healthy singing technique, ear training, music theory, as well as social fun & invigorating performance opportunities at each of the Bella Voce concerts!
Both choirs offer a supportive and fun community of girls who love to sing, spend time together, bless others with their music and passion, and learn how music has the power to make a unique difference in the world.
