Audition Information
Interested in auditioning for Radix?
Auditions for the upcoming 2024-2025 season will be held in late May -early June, 2024. That’s basically now, friends! Interested singers are invited to fill out the audition request form. Space is very limited, but we will consider all voice parts at this time. We look forward to hearing from you!
The Nuts and Bolts
We rehearse at First Presbyterian Church of Portland (1200 SW Alder St.) on Tuesday evenings (6:30-8:30pm), September to early June - with breaks here and there as appropriate.
We prepare two full concert performances per season: one in December, one in June. We typically also sing several shorter outreach programs annually.
We also have parties on a regular basis!
Within these parameters, Radix aims to offer a significant degree of schedule flexibility to its members, recognizing the numerous professional and personal commitments that they must balance on a daily basis.
Radix members are asked to contribute dues of $150 per concert cycle (2x per year) to help cover the cost of running our ensemble. Scholarships are available, however; no singer will be turned away for financial hardship.
