SALT LAKE CITY — Adult singers living within 100 miles of Salt Lake City can audition to participate in a guest choir for the October general conference for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The church announced the choir last week. Online auditions are due by June 26. Applicants will learn if they were accepted into the choir by July 29.
Singers must be over 18 before the general conference session, or born before Oct. 3, 2008.
The auditions require singing one verse of a hymn; each vocal part has two hymns applicants can choose between; and uploading a video recording made with a smartphone.
Those auditioning can list family members who are also auditioning on their application and indicate whether they want to participate regardless of whether other family members are accepted, or only if their family members are accepted as well.
People who are accepted into the choir are required to attend each rehearsal. Rehearsals will be held Sundays from Aug. 16 to Sept. 27, excluding Sept. 6, from 5 to 7 p.m, and a dress rehearsal will be held on Sept. 26 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
According to the application page, those participating will be required to dress in a conservative style and have their music memorized.
