MENOMONIE – Being in a choir is about more than just a performance. It’s a chance to challenge yourself, connect with fellow music enthusiasts, and experience the joy of collective singing. Choirs foster a sense of community, discipline, and artistic fulfillment that few other activities can match. Choral singing is good for you!

There is a choir in our community where you can experience the benefits of choral singing! The Menomonie Singers will hold auditions for all sections (soprano, alto, tenor and bass) on August 24 and August 25, starting at 6:00 pm, at First Congregational United Church of Christ, 420 Wilson Avenue, Menomonie.

The Menomonie Singers has been in existence since 1989 and presents four regular concerts of choral music per year. Under the leadership of Brian Klein, Conductor, the choir will present concerts on November 21 and 22 in Eau Claire and Menomonie. The theme for the fall concerts is “Wonder”.

In addition, the choir will sing in a Chippewa Valley Voices choral festival at the Pablo Center in Eau Claire on November 15 at 2 pm.

Participants must be 18 or older or post high school. Previous choir experience is helpful but not necessary.

There is no need to prepare a piece; the audition will include the following:
– A range check
– A sight-singing exercise
– Musicality showcase (singers will be asked to sing one of the following: Silent Night, Happy Birthday, or My Country Tis of Thee or a song of the singer’s choosing)

Weekly rehearsals for the fall season begin Tuesday, September 1 at the UW-Stout Applied Arts Room 315.
