Mixed Community Chorus

Based in Oak Brook, IL

With passion, dedication, and ambitious vision, our founder started Spirito Singers in 2008, creating a youth chorus of the highest caliber. From the very beginning, Spirito set out to train treble singers using challenging repertoire as the basis of an excellent education. Spirito began with Bravura, made up of 50 high school treble singers. The following year, Spirito added the Ragazze ensemble for 5th 8th grade singers. The Spirito treble ensembles have since performed around the world, and have been praised for their beautiful tone and joyful performances. The Spirito organization is also proud to include the Men of Spirito. At its founding, many Men of Spirito were fathers or grandfathers of singers. Now, its members hail from all walks of life, and relish the opportunity to perform varied repertoire in an intergenerational setting.

Founded - 2008.   Ongoing Tryouts.

Audition Policy - Spirito auditions are the perfect way to learn what singing with others is all about. No need to prepare anything special for your audition we ll teach you everything you need to know when you arrive. Auditions are designed to be fun, relaxed, and unintimidating bring us your best voice, and we ll do the rest! Singers can choose one of two options for their audition:- PRIVATE AUDITIONS are best for singers who already have some vocal experience, or feel more comfortable singing by themselves. Private auditions include just the singer and the ensemble conductor, are held either in person or via Zoom, and include vocal warm-ups to determine range, ear training and rhythm exercises, and sight-reading (for Bravura only). GROUP AUDITIONS are best for singers who feel more comfortable singing with others, or who have never participated in a choir before. Group auditions are held in person, and auditioning singers will join current Spirito singers to sing some choral warmups,
