Audition for Membership in Chicago Master Singers

We are not currently able to audition new singers for Chicago Master Singers. If you would like to be notified when we are ready to hold auditions again, please complete the form on this page. 

Chicago Master Singers is a 90- to 100-voice choral ensemble featuring singers from Chicago and suburban communities. CMS has performed great choral masterworks in collaboration with professional soloists and orchestras since 1979. It is a volunteer chorus that works and performs to professional standards.
​
If you are a singer with choral experience and are interested in Chicago Master Singers, we want to hear from you! Please send an email to info@chicagomastersingers.org using the form on the right or call our toll-free voice mail at 877-825-5267 (TALKCMS) and leave your name, phone number and email address. We will contact you to answer your questions and schedule an audition. 
​
​Auditions are held by appointment only at a north/northwest suburban location to be determined. Normally, season auditions are held each year in August, but new singers may audition to join at certain times during the season. Contact us to schedule an audition date.
