2010 Flute Choir Information Audition Requirements
RAFA has three flute choirs. Two choirs are grouped according to playing level/ability and require an audition. The third choir is a multi-level choir. We invite new members to join or audition for any of these three groups. For the Pipes and Fantasy, you must schedule an audition time in advance with the director. Each of the choirs performs two or three times per semester, in addition to rehearsing twice a month.
Be sure to check the schedule carefully and come join us at our rehearsal site: St. Philip Lutheran Church at 7304 Falls of Neuse Road in north Raleigh (across from Ravenscroft School). Enter the church complex through the door located in the corner (not the front).
Auditions dates for and times for Silver Pipes and Silver Fantasy.:
Sunday, August 22nd, beginning at 1:30
Sunday, August 29th, beginning at 1:30
The first rehearsal for Silver Winds and Silver Pipes will be Sunday, September 19th. Silver Fantasy's rehearsal dates/times will be determined shortly.
Auditions will be held at St. Philip Lutheran Church, 7304 Falls of Neuse Rd., North Raleigh (across from Ravenscroft School).
You must schedule an audition time in advance with the director. If the audition dates conflict with your schedule, please contact the director to work out another time.

Multi-Level Choir No audition; however, you will find the experience most rewarding if you know fingerings and understand key and time signatures. (Minimum of two years experience recommended.) This is the ideal choir for individuals who are new to the ensemble experience, as well as intermediate and advanced players who wish to play in a flute group but have limited time for rehearsals and individual practice. This group typically rehearses from 1:45– 3:00 p.m. on the 1st, 3rd (and 5th if there is one) Sundays of the month. Check the rehearsal schedule for more details. Direct questions to Sonja Noykos at (616) 634-3292 or sonjsen@hotmail.com. |
Intermediate Level Requires audition, strong attendance, and individual practice. Rehearses from 3:15 to 4:45 p.m. on the 1st, 3rd (and 5th if there is one) Sundays of the month. Check the rehearsal schedule for more details. Please note that no walk-in applicants can be auditioned. To schedule an audition into the Silver Pipes for the 2010 spring semester contact Sonja Noykos at (616) 634-3292 or sonjsen@hotmail.com. Silver Pipes Audition requirements:
Note: You do not need to bring a prepared solo piece to the audition. The director will be assessing tone quality, rhythmic and technical accuracy, intonation, and range of dynamics. Direct questions to Sonja Noykos at(616) 634-3292 or sonjsen@hotmail.com. |
Advanced Level Requires audition, strong attendance, and individual practice. Rehearsal time TBD very shortly. Check the rehearsal schedule for more details. This choir provides the best opportunity to play challenging and complex musical pieces. Because of the difficulty level of the material in this choir, musicians who are accepted are expected to make a serious, semester-long commitment to the ensemble. To schedule an audition into the Silver Fantasy, contact Sonja Noykos at (616) 634-3292 or sonjsen@hotmail.com.
