No Professionals Required! Slope Singers Wanted To Perform At Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart Festival

If you’ve ever dreamed of performing at Lincoln Center, you may very well have that opportunity this summer. And you don’t need to be a trained professional to do so.

Here’s another exciting part: you get to rehearse in the Park Slope neighborhood!

Lincoln Center is currently recruiting singers from across the city for a special event as part of the annual Mostly Mozart Festival. And they’re hoping Park Slope, South Slope, Gowanus, and Windsor Terrace will come out to represent.

The work is called the public domain by New York-based composer David Lang, a Pulitzer Prize winner and recent Oscar Award nominee. Lincoln Center is looking to build a chorus of 1,000 singers for a unique premiere, and anyone can join.

“All singers taking part need to register, but that just helps us to know what part you sing (soprano, baritone, etc.) and how to connect you to the appropriate rehearsal site,” says Eric Gewirtz, spokesperson for Lincoln Center.

the public domain will take place at Lincoln Center on Saturday, August 13, performed around the famous fountain. And like the participation, it’s also free to the public.

So here’s what you need to do: Register to be a singing volunteer. That’s the most important part. This link will let you view videos of the composer David Lang as well as conductor and choral director Simon Halsey. Keep in mind there will be some movement performed by the singers, however you don’t need to be a seasoned dancer.

Rehearsals will take place in Park Slope. A location has not yet been announced; volunteers will be contacted with this information. The dates and times are available here:

We hope to see you (and hear you) at the fountain on August 13!
