We are always seeking new members!
We are dedicated to making beautiful music, especially focusing on lesser-known repertoire from the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods—with a particular interest in women composers. We are also the only choir in Southeastern Michigan that includes Gregorian Chant in almost all our concerts.
The group rehearses Tuesday evenings (7:00–8:45) during the academic year, at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, from September through mid-May. We do not meet in the summer or in the second half of December, and we also do not rehearse the weeks of Thanksgiving and Easter. We prepare one musical program a year, and present the program in concerts at up to four different locations, ending with a final concert at St. Andrew’s.
Our director holds informal auditions for new singers before the opening rehearsal. You don’t need to prepare a piece; they would just like to hear how you sound.
Singers are responsible for attending rehearsals (no more than 4 absences a year) and for learning the music. We expect singers to be able to sing with a straight tone (no vibrato). The choir also has dues of $50/year for each singer, to help pay our expenses.
Please consider joining the Ann Arbor Grail Singers! For more information, email or call Stephanie Rosenbaum, AnnArborGrailSingers@gmail.com, 734-662-0631.
