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 two(2) select auditions in 2009. The first two, March 21 and May 2, are opened to any BSR singer and accompanist on a first-come, first-served basis and include written feedback from select attending directors and voice professionals. The third select audition is for pre-selected BSR tenors, baritones, basses and accompanists and the last select audition is for all voice types divided into Oratorio and Opera. Performers may apply to attend the Select Auditions EITHER through a live screening at one of the spring Open Auditions OR though the submission of written and recorded materials*(Deadline was February 20 2009) 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 may 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. Who

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. Select Auditon Participants:
