Friendly and fun, auditions at The St. Louis Children’s Choirs are a great way for us to get to know one another. Auditions consist of your child singing a short song followed by a short informational meeting. A singer's ensemble placement is based on age, skill, maturity, and availability. The St. Louis Children's Choirs has an ensemble for every singer!
