Auditions for kids who love to sing or dance
Two opportunities are coming up for your kids to develop their talents for performing:
--The new Handel Children's Choir of Baltimore is holding auditions for new members ages 7-17, for the 2009-2010 season. Chairwoman Nicole Schultheis writes: "We give children an opportunity to learn and share classical, multicultural, contemporary and folk music. During the season we rehearse Mondays after school at First English Lutheran Church, 39th and Charles. Partial scholarships may be available. For more info call 410-753-2958."
If you want to check out the choir, they're performing a spring concert at the church this Sunday, May 17, at 4 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for those 12-18, and free if you're under 12. Call the number above to reserve tickets or learn more.
--The Peabody Institute is looking for boys 9-15 who are interested in dance -- and in earning a scholarship for dance training. Auditions for the Estelle Dennis Dance Scholarship Program for Boys will take place Monday, May 18 at 11 a.m. for students at Roland Park Elementary Middle School, and 2 p.m. for students at Mount Royal School. General auditions -- open to the community -- will be held at 5:30 p.m. at the Peabody campus dance studios.
The scholarship, which will be awarded to 20-25 boys, includes weekly Saturday classes during the institute's 2009-2010 season, along with dance shoes. You can learn how to reserve your audition slot and get other details here.
