Audition Information
Interested in auditioning for Radix?
We are so glad you are interested in singing with us! Auditions for the 2024-2025 season are now closed; however, we would be happy to put you on our Radix Very Special List of Super Duper Cool People who will be notified the moment future auditions are planned. Just fill out the auditions request form to the right, and we will make sure you don’t miss your chance to audition!
The Nuts and Bolts
We rehearse at First Presbyterian Church of Portland (1200 SW Alder St.) on Tuesday evenings (6:30-8:30pm), September to early June - with breaks here and there as appropriate.
We prepare two full concert performances per season: one in December, one in May. We typically also sing several shorter outreach programs annually.
We also have parties on a regular basis!
Within these parameters, Radix aims to offer a significant degree of schedule flexibility to its members, recognizing the numerous professional and personal commitments that they must balance on a daily basis.
Radix members are asked to contribute dues of $150 per concert cycle (2x per year) to help cover the cost of running our ensemble. Scholarships are available, however; no singer will be turned away for financial hardship.
