Auditions
There are currently no auditions planned for fall 2020.
Audition Registration Closed
Auditions must be scheduled in advanced. The fee for the audition is $15 for those who are not currently a member of other Artis—Naples youth ensemble groups. The NPYC accepts students between the ages of 7 and 17. For additional information, please email YouthChorus@artisnaples.org.
Audition Requirements
Those wishing to audition should prepare a song of their choosing no longer than two minutes that showcases their vocal talents. All auditions must be with piano accompaniment, not to recorded music or a cappella, and singers are asked to provide a copy for the Naples Philharmonic piano accompanist. Applicants will be asked to match pitch and, depending on their musical background, may be asked to sight-read.
Tuition
Annual tuition for the Naples Philharmonic Youth Chorus is $175. The one-time music fee is $35. Some scholarships are available.
The Naples Philharmonic Youth Chorus (NPYC) provides young singers performance opportunities on Hayes Hall stage alongside the Naples Philharmonic and at distinct community events. The nearly 100-voice NPYC includes singers in elementary, middle and high school. NPYC rehearses in groups divided by age and ability on Monday evenings on the Artis—Naples Kimberly K. Querrey and Louis A. Simpson Cultural Campus.
Due to safety precautions related to COVID-19, the Naples Philharmonic Youth Chorus will not have any activities in fall 2020. Further updates about 2021 will be announced later in fall 2020.
