The Berkeley Community Chorus and Orchestra (BCCO) is accepting applications for soloists for the 2025-2026 season as part of a new Vocal Soloist Program. Repertoire for the 2025-2026 season features:

Winter Concert, January 2026
Verdi: Requiem
and

Spring Concert: June 2026
Haydn: Theresienmesse

If applying to solo for the Verdi Requiem, please prepare the following segments from this work:

Soprano: opening solo of the Libera Me, appox 45 measures.
Mezzo: opening solo of Liber Scriptus, approx 67 measures
Tenor: Ingemisco
Bass: Confutatis

For Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass: If applying to solo for the Haydn, please prepare a 2-4 minutes solo of your choosing from an oratorio or sacred work by Mozart or Haydn. Because the solo material in Haydn's Theresienmesse features mostly ensemble singing or solos interspersed with choral segments, a sustained sample from this work is not considered suitable for this application.
