What
are the Boston Singers' Resource Annual Auditions?
The Boston Singers' Resource Annual Auditions are combined general audition calls for New England singers and accompanists. Performers are assigned an audition time and are given 4 minutes (or 6 minutes if both the singer and the accompanist are auditioning) to present themselves. Repertoire is chosen from the standard opera, oratorio, and concert orchestra literature. Copies of each performer's resume and small head shot are given to all of the auditors. A program of attending organizations is given to all participants. There are two(2)open auditions and one(1) select audition in 2008. The first two, held in the spring, are opened to any BSR singer and accompanist on a first-come, first-served basis and included written feedback from select attending directors and voice professionals. The third audition, held on ,November 22, 2008 this year, is for pre-selected BSR singers and accompanists. Performers may apply to attend the Select Audition EITHER through a live screening at one of the spring Open Auditions OR though the submission of written and recorded materials* Spring 2009 Open Audition information will be posted later this fall. The Annual Auditions provide a chance for music directors, producers, composers, special event planners, and music managers to screen New England area singers and their accompanists for upcoming projects. The auditors then contact the performers, directly, regarding contracts or additional call-backs for their organization. *Please note that it is highly suggested that performers attend a live open audition rather than send in a recording if they do not have a high quality, professionally made recording to submit.

Annual Audition History
The BSR Annual Auditions were created in March 2002 to
help bring New England Directors, Singers, Accompanists, Composers, and
Managers together in an efficient, less time consuming way than the individual
organization auditions of the past. They are intended to be a stepping
stone for organizations wishing to pre-screen classical singers and accompanists
for future contracts and/or call-backs. See the left hand column of this page for a list of organizations that have attended BSR auditions in the past. 2007 Select Audition Participant List 2006 Select Audition Participant List 2005 Select Audition Participant List
