Revels seeks a diverse and talented volunteer chorus of adults and children (ages 7-12) to join our family for 18 performances of The Christmas Revels at Harvard University’s Sanders Theatre in Cambridge, Dec. 8-27, 2017. While Revels uses a number of professional performers in its productions, its volunteer chorus of adults and children are at its core. There is no “standing” Revels production chorus; We audition each cast anew for every show.
This year’s Christmas Revels travels to Renaissance Venice for a show rich in courtly pavanes, tarantellas and motets as well as Corsican polyphony, lullabies, folk songs and children’s games.
Auditions are by appointment only. For information and to schedule an appointment visitwww.revels.org/auditions or call 617-972-8300 ext. 35
