Preguntas frecuentes sobre el proceso de audición del LACC.
¿CUÁNDO SE CELEBRAN LAS AUDICIONES?
Auditions for LACC’s treble choirs will be held Mayo 31 – Junio 3, 2025. Auditions for older treble singers (over the age of 13) will be held on Mayo 17, 2025 (these singers are considered on a case-by-case basis, but generally have singing experience with another choir before joining LACC).
Young Men’s Ensemble auditions will be held on Junio 8, 2025 and can also be scheduled on a case-by-case basis if needed.
¿QUIÉN PUEDE HACER UNA PRUEBA?
Singers entering grades 3-8 for the 2025|26 academic year may audition for LACC’s treble ensembles. High school-aged singers with previous experience will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Singers in middle school or high school with changed or changing voices will be considered for the Young Men’s Ensemble. For singers in grades 1-2, LACC offers non-auditioned First Experiences in Singing (FES) classes and Next Experiences in Singing (NES) classes.
¿CÓMO INSCRIBIR A MI JOVEN CANTANTE EN UNA AUDICIÓN?
To register for an audition, you will need to complete the Audition Registration Form. Once your form is submitted, a staff member will reach out to schedule your audition.
¿DÓNDE SE CELEBRAN LAS AUDICIONES?
Las audiciones se celebran en la Iglesia Presbiteriana de Pasadena.
¿CUÁNDO DEBO LLEGAR?
Por favor, llegue a su audición al menos 10 minutos antes de la hora programada.
¿QUÉ OCURRE DURANTE LA AUDICIÓN?
Los directores pueden pedirte que realices algunos ejercicios vocales o guiarte a través de algunas líneas de una canción. Sin embargo, no tendrás que preparar nada de antemano.
¿EN QUÉ CONSISTE LA EVALUACIÓN DE LA CAPACIDAD MUSICAL?
Los coristas del LACC participan en un programa secuencial de teoría musical. Para asegurar la colocación en el nivel apropiado, los candidatos al Coro de Aprendices, Coro Intermedio, Coro de Conciertos, y Conjunto de Hombres Jóvenes se les pedirá que completen una breve evaluación de la musicalidad de la mejor manera posible cuando se reúnan con nuestros directores.
¿HABRÁ UNA OPCIÓN DE AUDICIÓN CON ZOOM?
No, auditions are in-person in Pasadena.
AUDICIONES DEL CONJUNTO DE HOMBRES JÓVENES
Singers with changed or changing voices should follow the same application process detailed above. Recognizing that the voice change may be unexpected and unpredictable, the Young Men’s Ensemble holds auditions on demand throughout the year, but it is best to sign up for an audition on Junio 8 to be considered for the 2025|26 season and to get feedback and recommendations from our conductors and musicianship team.
¿CUÁNDO SABRÉ SI ME ACEPTAN?
Los resultados de las audiciones se anunciarán a mediados de junio. La mayoría de los coristas de agudos aceptados en el LACC serán admitidos como miembros del Coro Preparatorio o del Coro de Aprendices, y unos pocos cada año son admitidos como miembros del Coro Intermedio o del Coro de Conciertos.
MY SINGER HAS TAKEN FES/NES CLASSES. DO I NEED TO SIGN UP FOR AN AUDITION?
If your singer has taken First Experiences in Singing (FES) classes, and will turn 8 between Septiembre 1 and Diciembre 31, 2023, they will be invited to join our Next Experiences in Singing class. If they will turn 8 before Septiembre 1, and have completed either FES or NES, they should sign up for an audition to be considered for LACC’s auditioned ensembles.
MI CANTANTE ES ACTUALMENTE MIEMBRO DE UN CONJUNTO DE LACC. ¿TENGO QUE APUNTARME A UNA AUDICIÓN?
No. If your singer is currently a member of Preparatory Choir, Apprentice Choir, Intermediate Choir, Concert Choir, Young Men’s Ensemble, Chamber Singers, or Chorale, you do not need to sign up for an audition. Your conductor will hold vocal evaluations before the end of the season to help determine ensemble placement for the following season. If your current high school-aged LACC chorister is interested in joining Chamber Singers or Chorale, more information about auditions for these advanced ensembles will be sent to eligible choristers soon. Eligibility requirements can be found in the Chorister & Parent Handbook, available to current families on Chorus Connection.
DOES LACC PROVIDE FINANCIAL AID?
Yes, LACC’s Need-Based Financial Aid provides financial assistance to qualifying families each year to help cover the costs of chorister participation in LACC programs. If you would like to apply for financial aid for your chorister following his/her successful audition, you may do so during the post-audition registration process.
SI MI JOVEN CANTANTE ES ACEPTADA, ¿QUÉ PASA DESPUÉS?
After audition results are announced, families of accepted choristers will receive a digital registration packet to complete and return by mid-Julio. The 2025|26 season will begin in Septiembre 2025.
