STUDENT INTERNSHIPS
Calling all Students
We are honored to support our local youth music education programs throughout Oakland County. Our aim is to inspire and support high school and college students by auditioning them and having them mentored by Dr. Jackson and the Chorale members. They will then perform with the Chorale at our concerts.
Interested? For the fall 2023 semester, get an audition appointment now at a date, time and place convenient to you. Set up your appointment by contacting Mrs. Sally Welch at 248-673-9670 or artwelchmort@yahoo.com.
Meet our Interns
Since 2019, Jacy Short, an Oakland University student, has been singing alto and second soprano in the Chorale. Also, for several concerts, Jeffrey Matern has been singing baritone. He is currently studying at Hyles-Anderson College. And our newest intern is Michael Smyczak, a senior at Lakecrest Baptist School.
In 2018-2019, Miss Kayla Coen, a second soprano, was a senior at Rochester Adams High School. She is now at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn., pursuing a degree in Songwriting.
Mary Crumb, now a graduate of Rochester Adams, was an intern, singing in our Christmas concert. Mary sang first soprano with the Chorale.
Student Internship Details
All student interns have their dues waived, are loaned the music, and wear their normal concert attire. In other words, they have no out-of-pocket expenses. This program was started thanks to a gift from the estate of Martha and Tom Marsh. Ongoing, the program is supported by the generosity of our “Internship Angel” contributors.
