Voces Lucis is an auditioned women's small ensemble comprised of members of Summer Women's Chorus. The chorus sings advanced, mostly unaccompanied repertoire, and will performs 3-4 pieces in the Summer Women's Chorus concert. In addition, Voces Lucis will also have the honor of performing in the Plano Civic Chorus concert on October 11, 2025.
Singers from last season who wish to continue with the group will be automatically in the ensemble this year, and will not need to audition. We will be holding auditions on Thursday, May 22nd to fill the remaining spots. Those interested in auditioning should be experienced choral singers who can sing with minimal vibrato and blend well with others. Singers should be able to sing independently among close harmonies, and the basic ability of sight-reading is also expected.
Auditions will be 5-6 min in length and will consist of a prepared a cappella piece, vocalizing (with piano support) to determine range and tone, and a sight-reading excerpt.
You must be registered and plan to sing with Summer Women's Chorus in order to be considered for this smaller ensemble. There is no attendance policy with the larger chorus, but for Voces Lucis, a 80% attendance policy will be in place. You may not miss more than 2 out of the 10 scheduled rehearsals. Those in Voces Lucis will also need to pay for their own music (generally $15-18.)
