Location: TAF Arts Center, 53 W Main, American Fork
Timpanogos Singers, an adult chamber choir, welcomes new vocalists as we prepare for two more stellar concerts in March and April to close out our 2024/25 season. Come see what we’re about 7pm on January 7th and warm your voice with ours at the TAF Creative Arts Center, 53 W Main in AF. Afterward, stay for a quick, informal audition. If you’ve been holding on to that desire to ‘let your voice so shine’—let it out with us and make 2025 a year of rejoicing with song and new friends in our tight-knit community of singers.
Be prepared to sing around 1 minute of a song with accompaniment that shows the best part of your voice (accompanist and Bluetooth speaker will be provided). Be prepared to do a range check and some sight reading.
Returning singers need no audition, but may audition for a different voice part.
