RCCC Una Voce & Cantiamo
Rolla Choral Arts Society (RCAS)
The Rolla Community Children’s Choir was founded in 2007 by artistic director Jeff Sandquist, and Kathy Mazzeo. The RCCC is an auditioned ensemble open to boys and girls with treble voices from third grade to juniors in high school (age 9 – 16). The choir performs challenging repertoire for treble choirs. Several performances are scheduled throughout the year. As the program starts up after COVID, the RCCC has been meeting as one ensemble, rehearsing on Wednesday afternoons from 3:30 – 5:00 p.m. at Rolla Middle School. If numbers allow, the program will once again split into two ensembles: “Una Voce” (one voice) and “Cantiamo” (we sing) a select ensemble for more advanced singers. This year we are asking both returning singers and NEW singers to the program to complete an audition.
Auditions are scheduled on the following days and locations:
- Friday, August 21, 4:00 – 6:00 p.m. First Presbyterian Chapel (919 E. 10th St)
- Weds. Sept. 2, 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. RMS Music Room (following audition workshop)
