I have had the privelege of singing under the direction of Dr. Michael Huff with the Salt Lake Symphonic Choir as well as in two regional choirs {for a regional conference and for the Days of '47 Sunrise Concert}. He is a fabulous director and is so much fun.

This fall, Dr. Huff is organizing a new choir, Utah Voices. The choir's focus will be large choral works along with smaller masterworks and anthems. No auditions are required for the choir; however, a small, auditioned choir, focused on high-difficulty literature, sacred, secular, old and modern, will be formed within the larger choir. We are looking for passionate, talented singers to join in the fun! Here is some basic information about the choir:

Although auditions are not required, attendance to rehearsal is extremely important and will be recorded.

We will have annual concerts in December, in the spring, and a July Pioneer/Patriotic concert in the summer, with the possibility of other concerts throughout the season.

We will rehearse Wednesday evenings, beginning September 2nd, in Bountiful {we will have a secured rehearsal location soon}. Rehearsals will be from 7:30 until 9:30 p.m.

All singers will be required to purchase and retain their own music and a black 3-ring binder.

Choir dues will be $50 for the fall (due in September), $50 for the spring (due in January), and $50 for the remainder of the season (due in April), for a total of $150.00.

Singers will be responsible for and provide their own concert attire within the following guidelines:

Women: black, floor-length formal dress or skirt/blouse; sleeve length must be either long sleeves or three-quarter length. Avoid anything that reflects a large amount of light (excessive sequins, beading, reflective material, etc.). Jewelry should be a simple strand of pearls with pearl earrings. Black shoes.

Men: black tuxedo, white shirt, black bow-tie and black cummerbund, black shoes.

Please comment, call, or email me if you are interested or if you have any questions!
