Staff Singers, who serve as both soloists and section leaders, must be excellent sight-readers and adept and comfortable singing in a wide variety of musical genres and styles in a fast-paced environment. Singers must also be punctual, reliable and willing to work in and foster a spirit of collegiality and collaboration.
