Who are we looking for?

Priority in the auditions is given to employees of Olivia’s companies. We are mainly looking for gentlemen. Ladies are welcome. Certainly, for the ladies, the list of seats is limited, so as not to disturb the sound proportions in the band. Conductor Wiktoria Batarowska provides seats for Ok. 5 trebles and approx. 7 altos. It is important that the candidates have time for the choir (Tuesday rehearsals plus additional rehearsals, integration trips, etc., if necessary).

What does the audition look like?

The conductor, Wiktoria Pagieła, reveals the details: “It’s 15 minutes long. I check the sense of musical hearing and rhythm, scale, timbre of voice, etc. You can also prepare a fragment of your favorite song and sing it. Candidates do not need to know the notes, but it would be good if they had musical experience. I provide places for approx. .max 5 trebles and approx. .max. 7 altos. It is important that the candidates have time for the choir (Tuesday rehearsals plus additional rehearsals, integration trips, etc., if necessary).”
