Sing with The Compline Choir!
The Compline Choir, an all-male identifying choral ensemble, anticipates openings for the upcoming season beginning August 31. Available positions are expected for countertenor/alto, tenor, and bass-baritone singers. Those interested should prepare a 24-36 measure excerpt or hymn demonstrating lyric, sustained singing; in addition, candidates will be asked to sing from three sight-reading examples, two in modern notation and the other in square-note (Gregorian chant) notation, and undergo intervallic, musicianship, and pitch memory diagnostics. Auditions begin on May 4 and will continue until all positions are filled. Book your audition here. (Click ‘Continue as Guest’ if you do not have a Microsoft 365 account.)
Membership in the Compline Choir is for life—and a major commitment requiring participation at least 44 Sundays per year, from 7:30 PM to 10:00 PM. All members of the Choir are volunteers. The Choir is preparing to make a commercial recording in October 2025, celebrate its 70th anniversary year in 2026, and return to England (York and Durham) in August 2030. Email Jason Anderson if you have questions.
