The Dessoff Choirs rehearses every Monday evening, roughly between Labor Day and Memorial Day, on Manhattan's Upper East Side. Auditions for singing members are held in late summer and throughout the year by appointment; call (212) 831-8224 or send email to schedule an audition. For more details, click here.The Dessoff Choirs seeks qualified singers who read music proficiently, sing with good blend and intonation, accurately prepare music independently, and can commit to the rehearsals and concert dates of our season.
Dessoff is a dues organization, and members buy their own music. In many seasons, these fees can exceed $250 per member. Dessoff is governed by a Board of Directors selected from the Singing Membership. Members are also expected to sell tickets to concerts, help attract individual, corporate, and foundation donors, and participate fully in the life of the chorus.
There are NO auditions scheduled at this time. However, interested choral singers may be added to our waiting list. Simply send an e-mail inquiry including name, address, phone(s), and voice part to auditions@dessoff.org. Our Membership Chair will contact you when we schedule our next evening of new-member auditions.
Professional singers who wish to be considered for solo opportunities with The Dessoff Choirs should send a resume and a representative recording to The Dessoff Choirs, P.O. Box 1337, New York, NY 10028.
