This season we are doing a purely sacred music repertoire gleaned from ancient to contemporary sources.

To qualify, all you need is a solid voice, a good ear and a great attitude.

Reading music is an asset but not a necessity.

For more info, send us an email.

Don't delay! Contact us to book your audition slot for January 28, 2015.

Les Chanteurs Stairwell font des auditions régulièrement. Nous recherchons des sopranos pour février 2015.
