Auditions
Schola Cantorum of Lancaster, PA is currently auditioning professional level singers in all voice parts. This highly-select, 8-12 voice a cappella ensemble performs music from Chant to 20th century in a mostly liturgical setting, although some concert engagements are in the works. Plans for 2012 include recording a CD, a tour of the Mid Atlantic states, and performances in and around southeast PA. A tour of Europe and England is planned for the summer of 2013. This is not a paid position at present, but is an excellent opportunity to join an outstanding ensemble in the formative stages of development and growth. Interested singers should forward a CV or summary of musical experience and (if possible) audio samples to jrankney1@comcast.net at your earliest convenience. Weekly rehearsals (day TBA) will begin in early February.

Instruments Wanted
I'm seeking charitable donations of musical instruments in playable condition suitable for Renaissance and Baroque music performance. I am a faculty member at Wyoming Catholic College, a private four-year liberal arts college now beginning its fourth academic year. We have a lot of talent in our student body but, because we are so new, we lack discretionary funds to support our students' interest in musical performance. If you have a playable instrument gathering dust and would like to send it to a good home where it will be played often and will help introduce young people to Renaissance and Baroque music, please contact me, Dr. Nancy E. Llewellyn, at nancy.llewellyn@wyomingcatholiccollege.com. You can count on receiving our eternal gratitude plus a letter you can use for tax-deduction purposes. Thank you!

Classical bassoon-I am selling my Classical bassoon as I am no longer working professionally. It is a replica of a Grenser from 1810 with 7 keys. It was made by Peter De Koning in The Netherlands, who is the world's most reputable maker. He provides instruments for Danny Bond and Donna Agrell. A new instrument costs $8 900 US and has a waiting time of 5 to 6 years. I am asking US $10 500 as the instrument is one of his better ones, because it has already been blown in and is can be purchased now without a waiting period. Email: katejwalpole@gmail.com
