Chor Amica has an opening for 1 additional Choral Scholar in 2025. Applications are currently being considered, and are due by January 24, with auditions to take place at the end of January. Click here for our promotional flyer/more information.

To apply, please submit a short email expressing your interest, along with a musical CV, to [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you!

Chor Amica is excited to announce our inaugural Choral Scholars Program, beginning in the 23-24 season. Choral Scholars are emerging artists with a background in choral and/or vocal studies and an interest in pursuing a career in music performance and/or education. The program offers a bridge between academic study and professional work through opportunities to rehearse and perform with the choir, receive dedicated solo opportunities each season, and mentorship with our artistic director. Choral Scholars receive an honorarium for their work with the choir. Applications are accepted throughout the year, with the expectation that Choral Scholars join the choir for 2-4 concerts, based on their availability and interest.
