Are you a high school junior or senior who loves to sing in a choir? Do you want to improve your vocal skills and learn from a professional artistic director? Do you want to earn some money while doing what you love? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you might be interested in the Richmond Choral Society Scholars Program!

​

The Richmond Choral Society (RCS) is a community choir that performs three concerts per season, featuring a variety of choral music from classical to contemporary. The RCS Scholars Program is a unique opportunity for talented and motivated ensemble singers to join RCS and receive financial compensation for their participation.

​

RCS SCHOLARS WILL:

  1. Sing with a diverse and friendly group of adult singers who have a passion for music.

  2. Be mentored by the RCS Artistic Director and other experienced singers.

  3. Improve your ensemble singing.

  4. Experience the thrill of performing in front of a live audience at a professional setting.

  5. Earn $25 per rehearsal and $100 per concert.​

 

EXPECTATIONS:

An RCS Scholar will sing in at least one of the three RCS concerts in a concert season (December, March or June) and attend at least six rehearsals in preparation for the concert. The Scholar will also be required to attend that concert’s dress rehearsal and will be asked to work on the music on their own between rehearsals.

​

QUALIFICATIONS:

The selection of students for the Program is made by the RCS Artistic Director and will be based on the following:

  1. Junior or senior year high school standing.

  2. Length of choral ensemble singing.

  3. The recommendation of a choir director or vocal instructor under whom they have sung.

  4. An RCS audition.
