Auditions for anticipated Spring '06 vacancies in Vocal Jazz Ensemble
The I.C. Vocal Jazz Ensemble seeks a soprano and a bass for the Spring '06 semester. Auditions will be held on Wednesday, November 30 from 6-8 PM in Whalen 3305. Interested students should sign up for an audition time on the bulletin board outside of Whalen 3305. Alternative audition times available by appointment only. Email lkeegan@ithaca.edu
Non-music majors as well as music majors are invited to audition. Audition consists of singing a standard jazz or pop song of student's choice, sight reading a short passage from a vocal jazz arrangement, and improvising over a chord progression of the student's choice. Jazz experience is preferable but not necessary. Music literacy is required.
The Vocal Jazz Ensemble meets on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6--7:50 PM. The group demands individual preparation outside of class and dedicated rehearsal attendance.
Performances for the spring include a January 28 concert with Voices multicultural choir, a joint concert with Syracuse University and LeMoyne College vocal jazz groups on April 9, and our annual Spring Concert on April 23. Other performances yet to be scheduled are appearances at DeWitt Middle School and at the IC Jazz Fest. The Vocal Jazz Ensemble will also be guests of the IC Jazz Workshop directed by Professor Steve Brown.
For more info, please email lkeegan@ithaca.edu. No phone calls please.
