Interested in joining?
We are delighted that you are interested in auditioning! The Camerata Singers is a wonderful group of singers with a long and rich tradition of music making in the Lehigh Valley.
We have openings in all our sections (soprano, alto, tenor and bass) and welcome new singers at the beginning of each semester (fall and spring).
Auditions for the fall semester usually take place during the summer months. Auditions for the spring semester take place during the fall. In some cases, it may be possible for a new singer to audition and join once the semester has begun, early in the semester.
To schedule and audition please contact our director Eduardo Azzati at [email protected].
