Auditions

Seraphim is recruiting experienced volunteer singers for the 2025-2026 season. Our second round of auditions will be held by appointment on Monday September 08 from 5:30-7:00 pm, with additional dates and times made available as needed. There will also be an open rehearsal for interested singers on Monday, September 08 from 7:00-9:30 pm. To schedule an audition and/or attend the open rehearsal, contact chorus manager Caroline Scheibe at carolinescheibe@gmail.com. Include a brief sound clip and a resume or accounting of choral experience and vocal study, if any.

The 2025-2026 season will consist of four concert programs that celebrate the lasting impressions of the brilliant programming of Jennifer Lester, music director emerita. Thus, Seraphim will honor its legacy with presentations of beloved works in its expansive repertoire, paired with new and rarely-heard works from today’s most compelling composers and arresting arrangements from many world traditions. Major works will include the Duruflé Requiem and Rachmaninoff’s All Night Vigil with guest choral ensemble Renaissance Men.

Our newly appointed music director is Eric Christopher Perry, a dynamic vocal artist, conductor, educator, and arts entrepreneur ideally poised to expand upon Seraphim’s tradition of brilliant programming and nuanced artistry that has inspired audiences for over 25 years. We look forward to onboarding new singers at this exciting juncture for our ensemble.

Seraphim’s programs often have a social justice component and use choral works to illuminate critical topics, offer new perspectives, and challenge all of us to make our community and our world better. As well, Seraphim has been an advocate of women and POC composers in its programming. The chorus is typically comprised of 24-30 singers. Scores are provided and there is no participation fee.

Rehearsals are held Mondays from 7:00–9:30 pm at the Church of Our Saviour, 25 Monmouth Street in Brookline. On-street parking is available in the neighborhood and the church is a short walk from the T. Our primary concert venues are Holy Name Parish in West Roxbury and First Church in Cambridge.
