2011 Auditions are by appointment at a mutually convenient time with the director. Reservations for an audition time are required and may be made through email to Dr. Anne Matlack, director@harmonium.org. Auditions will be held in the choir room at Grace Church, Madison between August 26 and Sept. 6 and will take about 15-20 minutes each. The singer will be led through some standard vocalizations to test range, and then some ear-training and sight-singing on upcoming repertoire. A short prepared aria, art song, hymn, folk song or the like is welcome but not required.

There are a limited number of spots (all voice parts, but more in tenor!) We are only accepting strong musicians who are good sight readers. We rehearse on Sunday nights in Mendham. beginning Sept. 11. This year's concert dates are Dec. 10 at 8pm, Dec. 11 at 3 pm, Mar. 3 at 8pm, Mar. 4 at 3 pm and June 2 & 3 both at 7:30 pm.

Auditions for membership in Harmonium take place in late August through early September of each year. Depending on the needs of the group, a very small number of auditions may be heard at other times of the year.

In general, there are an extremely limited number of openings for excellent singers with good sight reading skills. The 15-20 minute auditions are held at Grace Episcopal Church, Madison Avenue at Kings Road in Madison, New Jersey. Rehearsals are held Sunday evenings, from the first Sunday after Labor Day through the beginning of the following June at Grace Lutheran Church, 65 East Main Street in Mendham.

Harmonium presents three subscription concerts per season in the Morristown area, and also participates in other events such as First Night. Dr. Matlack’s programming provides ample opportunity for the professional, as well as the serious amateur. For music educators seeking continuing education credits, Harmonium Choral Society is a Registered New Jersey Professional Development Provider. Member singers looking for individual or small group experience may audition for solos within the programmed works or audition to join the select 20-voice Harmonium Chamber Singers. Other members who are available during the school day, evenings, or weekends, may volunteer to sing in the Harmonium Outreach Chorus, which performs assemblies in elementary and middle schools, and shows for libraries, retirement homes, etc.
