Audition with us
Being part of the 120-voice Mendelssohn Club chorus ensures an exceptional experience. Although our singers come from a wide variety of backgrounds, they all have in common that they are experienced singers who appreciate the challenge of learning new material guided by an outstanding music director.
The satisfaction of working with an exceptional conductor
“He is an excellent director. He empowers us to sing our very best.”
“On and off the podium, Alan is creative, warm, insightful and genuine.”
“Alan is very caring and proud of each singer, as well as the ensemble, but expects professionalism at all times.”
The challenge of learning new materials
“I am always amazed to see how a great work of music eventually emerges from the rough, uncertain efforts of the first rehearsal.”
“Performing major traditional choral works is inspiring and challenging, but learning and performing new works on a regular basis builds an even stronger and more adroit chorus. It's fun and good to know that very few singers in choral groups anywhere in the world are doing what Mendelssohn Club does.”
“The first reading of a new commission rarely does justice to the final performance.”
The power of singing with a symphonic chorus
“Feeling the surge of the music or the beauty of an exquisite pianissimo from a chorus of this size just can't be described.”
“After a great performance I always get a wonderful feeling that I'm part of a team that's just uplifted a lot of people. Mendelssohn Club has the power to allow people to experience a choral work in ways they could not have imagined.”
“Singing with a large symphonic chorus allows me to do something I cannot do alone – produce a sound and a feeling that comes from many different people and different parts working together, in harmony and in spirit. Sometimes it’s overwhelming.”
