Persian Chorus is recruiting a number of new members for the 2004-2005
season (starting September 2004) with positions available in the
following sections/voices:
- Soprano (2 seats)
- Alto (1 seat)
- Tenor (3 seats)
Interested individuals must have previous or current music
experience/background, be familiar with musical score reading, and demonstrate a
solid understanding of rhythm. Last but not least, having a sensitive
ear for musical pitches is a big plus. For information on audition
requirements, please refer to

Persian Chorus started with a few members in October 2003. The
ensemble had its first performance as part of the UC Berkeley Nowrooz show and
received outstanding feedback from the community. Persian Chorus
provides a great opportunity to learn score reading, improve breathing and
vocal techniques, and sing the songs you always wished you could sing.
The ensemble meets twice a week with the following schedule:
- Wednesday: Sectional for women (7:00pm to 8:30pm)
- Wednesday: Sectional for men (8:30pm to 10:00pm)
- Sunday: Group rehearsal (7:00pm to 10:00pm)
All rehearsals and sectionals are held at the Persian Center in
Berkeley.

Our season starts on Sunday, September 5, 2004. Attending all the
rehearsals and sectionals is a mandatory requirement for all members.
Interested individuals should contact persian_chorus@yahoo.com and make
audition
appointments. All ages are welcome.
