Howdy!
My name is Hannah Himes, and I am serving as President of the Texas A&M University Century Singers for the 2015-2016 school year.
We are very much looking forward to the exciting year ahead of us! If you are interested in auditioning, you can sign up for an available time in the Choral Activities Office (MSC L110) or just give them a call (979-845-5974). Fall auditions are set for August 27th, 28th, 31st, and September 1st and 2nd. If you’ll be in town for your New Student Conference, feel free to stop by the Choral Activities Office and meet with Dr. Posada for an audition as well! The audition process is short and simple—intended to gauge your skill level and assess your ability to blend with the group. Don’t be too nervous!
Performances to look forward to in the Fall semester include our annual Fall Showcase featuring group acts among our talented members (two nights this year!), a collaboration with the Brazos Valley Symphony Orchestra and Chorale for Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem, and of course our Holiday Spirit of Aggieland alongside the Texas A&M University Singing Cadets and Women’s Chorus.
Our Spring semester promises additional exciting performances including our annual Spring Concert in late April and our first-ever trip to New York City for our Spring Tour in mid-March. Our wonderful director is working with Michael John Trotta for a commissioned piece to open our debut performance in Carnegie Hall. Keep checking our website for more information regarding these performances and experiences that you don’t want to miss!
Sincerely, I want to thank you for your interest in and support of our choir. Whether you’re just looking for a group of people with whom you can continue singing through college, or a close-knit family with whom you can share the best four years of your life, you’ve found the perfect organization! We strive for choral excellence in all that we do, and we pride ourselves in our performances and the vast improvements we have made over the past two years with our new director, Dr. Posada. We have weekly gatherings outside of rehearsals, overnight retreats, and tons of other fun social events to strengthen our bonds of friendship and musicianship. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to send us an email! We hope you consider auditioning for us and joining the family!
Thanks & gig ‘em,
Hannah Himes
Century Singers President ’15-‘16
