Auditions

In return for your commitment and energy we offer you the opportunity to sing with one of the most exciting and innovative choral groups in the Bay Area. Each season we explore significant new repertory and revisit some of the old choral masterpieces with a fresh and historically informed approach. The professional soloists and instrumentalists with whom we collaborate are among the finest in the country and include leading members of such important groups as the American Bach Soloists, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, Newberry Consort, Tafelmusik, and Concerto Palatino. The 1999-2000 season marked the formation of the San Francisco Bach Choir Orchestra under the direction of then Musical Director, David Babbitt and under the new management of natural trumpet specialist, John Thiessen. Based on a core ensemble of top early-music specialists who work closely with us to help present artistically cohesive performances with the choir, our orchestra will also augment some programs with instrumental and solo selections of their own.
