Registration & Waitlist:
Aurora Voices has a maximum capacity of 50 singers. Once the choir is full, new registrations will be added to a waitlist in the order they are received.
If a spot opens up:
New members may be invited from the waitlist before the season begins or during the first 2–3 rehearsals, as long as they can reasonably catch up with the material. After this point, vacancies will generally remain unfilled.
Priority for the following term:
Before each new term, current choir members have an early registration period to secure their spot. After that period closes, available spaces are offered to people on the previous term's waitlist, in waitlist order. Any remaining spaces are then opened to general registration.
Waitlist priority applies for the following term only. A new waitlist is created each term.
Session Fee (11-14 weeks)
Sliding Scale (choose your own):

*Or any other amount that makes this accessible for you — we’re happy to have you, no matter what.

No need to worry! You don’t need to know how to read music to join. In addition to sheet music, we do some learning by ear, and put recordings of the different parts on the website so you can also practice on your own time if you want.
