Audition Information

Interested in auditioning for Radix? 

Auditions for the 2025-2026 season are planned for this coming July. We aren’t scheduling them just yet, but if you fill out an audition request form, we’ll contact you as soon as we are putting together the calendar. Thanks so much for your interest in singing with us!

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 May. 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.

Qualifications

Successful candidates will have:

  • Previous vocal training and experience

  • Solid music reading skills

  • A strong sense of pitch

  • An interest in further developing healthy vocal technique across a spectrum of vocal styles
