[Jill Harbaugh]

*CLEVELAND** ORCHESTRA CHILDREN’S CHORUSES*



The Cleveland Orchestra Children’s Chorus, under the direction of Dr. Ann L.
Usher, is holding auditions in May and June for the 2010-2011 season.
Students who will be entering grades 5-8 in the fall of 2010 are eligible to
audition. The singers should have treble voices. There are two Children’s
Choruses: The Children’s Chorus, a performing chorus, is limited to students
with more advanced skills and experience, while the Preparatory Chorus
provides initial choral experiences for younger students in grades 5-8.



As members of the Children’s Choruses, students develop their choral
training and leadership skills, which help strengthen their performance in
their school programs. In addition, they receive the opportunity to interact
with other students from the greater Cleveland area who share the same
musical interests.



If you are aware of a gifted child who has promising vocal abilities, please
have them contact the chorus office at ysiry at clevelandorchestra.com or
