Typically, the Chorale conducts three home concerts per season. The first occurs in early December, followed by a March and a May concert. We begin rehearsing on the first Monday after Labor Day, at 7:30 p.m. on September 14, 2009, to prepare for the December Christmas Concert. Then, in early January, we resume practice for our remaining two concerts of the year, closing out our home concert program in May.
Chorale rehearsals involve a two-hour weekly rehearsal when the chorale is in session. Rehearsals take place promptly every Monday night from 7:30 to 9:45 in the Fellowship Hall located in the basement of St. Mark's Lutheran Church, located at 5800 Backlick Road, in Springfield.* During the week prior to a concert’s performance, additional rehearsals may be held as well as a dress rehearsal on Friday evening, prior to the Saturday evening full performance.

Generally speaking, our Chorale Director, Robert Webb, will check your musical range on the first Monday before Labor Day, at 7:30 p.m., and the first rehearsal for the calendar year (in early January). These sessions are conducted by Mr. Webb playing the piano and having you perform some basic scale exercises in the St. Mark’s Lutheran Church’s lounge. Please assemble in the main lobby of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church. Only those desiring to be soloists need to come with a prepared piece. Please publicize this with anyone who may be interested in joining us.
Continuing auditions for new singers are each Monday, from September 14th in the evening at 7:30 pm, through October 5th. Please contact us by email or phone, so you can join us at 7:30 p.m., and audition with the director following the rehearsal.
