Judas Women Auditions

Saturday, November 6th, 2010

(11/4/2010) From Dr. Whitmire:  Dear Singers-

Thanks to all the women who auditioned for solos in Judas Maccabaeus. We heard 30 sets of auditions- mostly duets. Thanks to Chris for all the notes.

It was great to hear everyone; for some it was their first audition ever. For me it was a very tough job: I was looking for a clear, baroque quality of voice that is ample enough to fill a hall and at the same time matching voices that might sound good together.

So that I could include more singers I have selected two sets of soloists as you see below. [Edited for privacy]

What a wonderful group of singer you all are. I am honored to be able to work with you.
