How to resolve AdBlock issue?
For the last few years the public response has been growing steadily to the Winter Music Fest in the Soper-Reese due to the excellent acoustics, visibility, and comfort the theater provides, and as the crowds have swelled, the quality of the performers, always high, has gotten even higher.
Artists who would like to participate in the Winter Music Fest should contact the Lake County Arts Council office before Jan. 8 in order to be sure to get a place in the audition lineup.
Auditions will be held all day Jan. 15 at the Soper-Reese, and although you can show up there on the day of the auditions, you might have to wait around until there is an opening. Sign up right away and get a specific audition time.
All kinds and styles of music are welcome for this show, and groups of any size from soloist up are encouraged to audition.
Auditions can be accompanied by recorded music, but use of commercial recorded music for background accompaniment by performers is strongly discouraged, partly because this is a local show and not meant to showcase performers recording in LA, and partly because in the presence of live music, recorded music tends to reveal its artificiality. They will help solo singers find an accompanist for their performances.
The council also encourages performers to show acts that are completely ready for the stage, and prepared for a professional presentation.
The council has a theater with a dark background, and a light colored or reflective costume sets the performer off to the greatest advantage. Care in producing a well-thought-out costume shows the audience that you care about their enjoyment, and adds to the audience-performer dynamic. That is to say, they like your music better when you look cool.
