PART 1 - Singing with the Stairwell Carollers : toute une aventure!

Singing with the Stairwell Carollers  : toute une aventure!
(Kristina's perspective - PART 1 - all photos by Kristina Roudiy)
First, you audition in front of a jury of four...tout d'abord, tu passes une audition devant un jury de quatre personnes.
a jury of four
You don't know what to expect...or maybe you expect the choir director to have a stern look / tu penses que le chef de choeur va être sérieux, voire sévère, et tu es intimidé(e) d'avance!
tu penses que le chef de choeur va être sérieux
So you take some deep breaths -donc tu inspires profondément... 
take some deep breaths...
You make sure to keep hydrated -especially if the audition is in the middle of August on a really humid day... Tu apportes une bouteille d'eau, surtout si l'audition se fait un jour chaud d'été! 
keep hydrated!
It's a process that requires courage and confidence – alors à toi de te lancer!
courage and confidence
After the jury deliberates... quelle chance si ensuite tu fais partie de ceux qui reçoivent un courrier invitant à revenir la semaine suivante! ;)
un courrier invitant...
Musically yours,
Kristina (soprano)

PART 2 NEXT SATURDAY     Stay tuned!

Au sujet des Chanteurs Stairwell:

C'est en 1977 que notre ensemble vocal naît de l'initiative de Pierre Massie, un étudiant en musique à l'Université d'Ottawa. En tant que lauréats des concours de l'Ontario Music Festival Association de 2010 et 2013, nous pouvons affirmer que nous nous classons parmi les meilleures chorales de l'Ontario.

Nous sommes un organisme de bienfaisance canadien enregistré et les recettes de nos concerts, de la vente de CD, de téléchargements et de streaming nous permettent d'aider notre communauté. Ainsi, depuis 1997, nous avons remis plus de 143 800 $ en dons à des organismes caritatifs locaux et en bourses d'études.
