St. Cecilia Chamber Choir is auditioning new members for all voice parts. Rehearsals take place in Newcastle on Wednesday nights, 7:00 p.m., at St. Andrew’s Church. The Choir is directed by Linda Blanchard and accompanied by Sean Fleming, both of Damariscotta. To schedule an audition, call director Linda Blanchard at 380-2768 or email [email protected].

Singers wishing to audition should have good vocal control, and sopranos and altos should be able to sing without vibrato. The ability to read music is much preferred, but those who cannot read may participate by spending extra time learning the music at home with the aid of provided practice materials. We especially encourage gifted student singers to audition.

St. Cecilia Chamber Choir is a fully auditioned community chorus based in Newcastle and founded in 1995. Our mission is to present outstanding performances of the very best choral repertoire; to provide challenging musical opportunities to gifted local youth; to support our community with outreach programs; and to support Maine composers through the commission and performance of new music.
