Next auditions: September 2025

Tenors and basses are particularly encouraged to contact the PCS at any time to register your interest.

General Auditions

The PCS looks for experienced choral singers with good sight-reading ability and a good working knowledge of English (the language of rehearsals). 

As ours is an amateur choir of professional standards, you are expected to take your participation seriously:

We look for:

We also require sight-reading ability: we often tackle long works that are difficult to fully learn by heart.  

You will have the chance to demonstrate your capacity to learn a part. A section of the season’s repertoire will be sent in advance for you to prepare for the audition.

Audition days typically take place twice a year, in September and January. If you would like to audition, please complete the audition form on this page

Auditions, rehearsals and most performances are at the American Cathedral in Paris, 23 avenue George V in the 8th arrondissement. Dues for the whole season are 230 euros (115 euros for those who are under 26 years old). They are pro rated for those joining in January.

Dues do not include the cost of scores that need to be purchased. Bulk orders are made, in order to allow for lower costs. You are welcome to purchase scores on your own but you will need to have the edition chosen by the musical director.

Rehearsals are Monday nights, from 7:30pm to 9.45pm, with a refreshment break for socialising.
