Interested in Auditioning?
Singing membership in
Good Company is by invitation of the music director. Director Karen
Weaver's original concept for Good Company was to gather together a
small group of experienced singers in a relaxed, nurturing environment
for the purpose of studying and mastering wonderful examples from the
choral repertoire. We look for singers with good reading ability, a
good ear for foreign languages, and a high level of commitment to
attending rehearsals. To arrange for an audition, contact the Director.
We
rehearse on Monday evenings from 7:30 to 9:45 pm at Lakewood
Presbyterian Church, 14502 Detroit Avenue at Marlowe. Both singing
members and non-singing board members pay annual dues of $50. This
entitles a member to voting privileges and offsets the music director’s
salary, purchase of music, digital recording of each concert, printing
and postage. In case of financial hardship, special confidential
arrangements can be made. We also take a free-will offering at each of
our own concerts and request an honorarium when we sing for other
sponsors.
Our size and clarity of sound lend themselves well to
the performance of madrigals, motets, and other intimate vocal forms
from various style periods. While many of us hold degrees in music or
perform professionally, most of us are engaged in professions other
than music for our livelihoods. Motivated purely by a love for choral
music, we share an interest in programming and casting a more mature
light on a repertoire which is rarely heard outside of an academic
setting. |
