What we share is our love of singing wonderful music with wonderful people.
Sing with the Phil.
Under the direction of Maestro Yuri Klaz, experience the thrill of singing major choral works with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, the magic of performing with internationally-renowned artists, and the joy of being part of more than a century of choral excellence.
The Phil is always looking for qualified singers to join us in making beautiful music together. If you want to sing exceptional choral music and have some choral experience and sight-singing ability, please consider an audition and connect with us to arrange. We’d love to hear from you.
The Fine Print:
Come prepared to sing music of your choice. This could be a short aria, an art song, a folk song, a song from musical theatre, or a melody or section line from a choral piece with which you are familiar. Your selection should be at least two to three minutes long.
We will supply an accompanist, so please bring along a copy of your music for them.
You may also be asked to explore your vocal range through a brief series of vocal exercises, sing a brief succession of intervals after hearing them played on the piano, and sight-sing a relatively simple passage in a comfortable vocal range.
Our choristers come from all walks of life; what we share is our love of singing wonderful music with wonderful people. Come join us! Auditions are generally held in early September and again in early January before one of our regular Tuesday rehearsal evenings. To arrange your audition, please call 204-896-7445 or email info@thephil.ca.
Members of the Phil pay a $200 annual fee ($100 for those under 30; no fee for Raising Voices) to help cover a small part of the choir’s operating expenses. Most people pay the full amount in September, but you may arrange to pay in two or more instalments. Fee reductions are also available; if the amount is prohibitive, please ask about an accommodation after your successful audition.
We hope to see – and listen to you - soon!
