Our directors will deliver a live-stream presentation via Zoom on Saturday, October 28th (if this date has passed, a recording from the session will be available to watch), introducing students and parents to the educational programs of the National Children’s Chorus. Following the video presentation, applicants will then select an appointment time to meet with one of our conductors for a private video audition via Zoom for entry into the program beginning January 2024. Instructions will be e-mailed to all applicants following registration to set up your individual audition appointment.
