The Connecticut Yuletide Carolers engage several Victorian a cappella quartets, costumed in Dickens-style costumes, to perform traditional and contemporary holiday carols at various holiday activities all around the state, including town holiday celebrations, senior residences and centers, shopping centers, private functions, and public events.

We are seeing vocalists for the following voice parts:

ALTO: Vocalist also serves as group leader – setting pitch/tempos, selecting music, coordinating breaks, collecting payment from client.

TENOR: Must have weekday daytime availability.

We're looking for singers with great performance abilities who love to interact with their audience. Our professional carolers perform as acapella SATB quartets with impeccable 4-part harmonies, so tight harmonies and blend are an absolute must; ability to read music is important. We work with some of the best singers in the state, so we compensate our carolers accordingly.

Adults only. Must be able to stand for 1-4 hours (with breaks). You will provide your own transportation, although group does carpool when possible. 5 to 6 Sunday evening rehearsals during Oct/Nov to be held in Branford, CT. We are looking for singers from all areas of Connecticut (no out-of-state inquiries, please).
