Membership
Membership of the choir is open to all registered students of the University of Pretoria younger than 30 years. Candidates need to successfully pass and audition in order to be accepted into the choir. The choir auditions for the year 2009 differed from the traditional Camerata auditions mainly because of the new conductor (Christo Burger). Candidates simply had to sing a traditional folklore song and after that do vocal tests. The auditions were held from the 28th January to the 5th of March 2009. After that the 2009 choir was announced, and rehearsals began.
From 2010 onwards the auditions are held as usual: a candidate must pass a standart audition, as well as "Know-your-music" audition, where he/she sings excerpts from the repertoire for the year to show the conductor that he/she knows the music.

Famous quotes containing the word membership:
“The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
