BOOK AN AUDITION
The ABCI is currently auditioning new singers for it's next Probationer intake in July 2021. The Choir operates out of its base in Melbourne.
Auditions are conducted in small groups of 4-5 candidates by Nick Dinopoulos, Artistic Director and Naomi Heyden, Director of Training Choirs.
How old do boys have to be?
These auditions are for boys aged between 7 and 9½ (grades 2-3) as at 1 July 2021.
What will the audition involve?
Auditions are informal and no preparation is required. We facilitate a number of fun activities around beat, rhythm, pitch matching and concentration. Boys also will read a short story (or describe a simple picture) to establish their language skills – vital for singers who read music!
