The Charles University Choir and Orchestra Are Welcoming New Members!

The University Choir is looking for new singers in all voice groups. Auditions are informal and will take place during the first two rehearsals – on 19 and 26 February in Charvátův Sál (1st floor of the hospital building at U Nemocnice 1, nearest tram stop Moráň) from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.. No prior registration is required – just come to one of the rehearsals and introduce yourself. No special preparation is necessary. Rehearsals are conducted in both Czech and English, so language is not a barrier.

The University Orchestra is primarily looking for new string players, but also welcomes experienced oboe, bassoon, horn, trumpet, and trombone players. String players do not undergo a formal audition but participate in a probationary period before their membership is confirmed. Wind and brass players are required to audition.

All those interested in joining the orchestra should contact info@sboraorchestruk.cz as soon as possible to receive more details and provide information about their previous orchestral experience. It is important to get in touch well in advance of the first rehearsal on 19 February at 7:30 p.m., so that sheet music can be distributed and rehearsal locations confirmed.

Both the choir and orchestra rehearse regularly on Wednesdays. Additionally, two weekend music workshops will take place this semester on 15–16 March and 26–27 April, with attendance at both being essential. There may also be additional rehearsals outside the regular Wednesday schedule, which will be communicated to members in advance.
