Join the Taylor Festival Choir
The Taylor Festival Choir (TFC) is holding an open call for professional caliber singers interested in joining the ensemble’s roster. We are always excited to hear new singers for our roster! Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. Auditions are accepted on a rolling basis.
Founded in 2001, the TFC is an elite professional chamber choir based in beautiful Charleston, South Carolina. This is a project-based ensemble: we gather four to six times a year for rehearsals and performances. We perform a wide array of repertoire consisting primarily of a capella music of the highest quality. Our ensemble has performed at numerous conferences including state, regional, and national American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) conferences. We’ve also toured internationally to Ireland and perform regular recording projects (we currently record with Delos Productions).
Compensation
For each concert, 24 singers are selected from our roster based on the project.
Our singers receive per-call compensation. Singers based outside of Charleston are provided with airfare and lodging.
