About Us
Founded in 2002, Renaissance is a select group of about three dozen singers committed to presenting high-quality choral music to Charlotte and the surrounding region. The group sings short-form classical music from all periods and genres.
We invite you to join us for our 2019 – 2020 season as we again draw from the vast treasure of great choral literature. Our trio of concerts spans more than 500 years of music written for the choral instrument, and there will be music to please every palate. As always, our aim is to present to the Charlotte region the very best choral literature performed to an exacting standard. If you love the sound of voices lifted in beautiful harmony, come and join our musical journey and let the music take you to a place you otherwise could not go. We do it LIVE!

Auditions
Auditions
Do you love short-form classical choral music as much as we do? We invite area singers interested in a challenging and rewarding vocal experience to audition for our group! General auditions are ongoing and we are always interested in hearing from area singers.
Please E-mail us if you would like to be considered for our upcoming season.
Each person wishing to audition should be prepared to demonstrate vocal technique and sight-reading ability. Each audition will last approximately 15 minutes. Prospective singers should be able to commit to weekly Monday night rehearsals, “dress” rehearsals which are typically held the night before each of our three main concerts, and to our scheduled concert dates for the season. The director will discuss these commitments with you during your audition.
Rehearsals are 7:00–9:00 Monday evenings. Our first meeting of the season (music distribution, a preliminary read-through, and welcome activities) usually takes place a week before Labor day, and regular rehearsals usually begin the Monday after Labor Day.
Let’s make music!
