In addition to a featured performance, audition winners receive a cash award. Last year’s winner, Wakefi eld High School Student Naya Chankhour (pictured), was featured during our June pops concert — Earth, Wind & Choir — and performed for an audience of more than 500 attendees. The auditions are open to all high school students in the performing arts in the Melrose or Greater Boston area. There will be two audition blocks held during Polymnia’s normal rehearsal time and location: February 10 and 24, 7:00-9:00 p.m., Melrose Highlands Congregational Church, 355 Franklin St. An accompanist will be provided. Interested students may reach out for additional information and to reserve an audition spot by emailing spotlight@polymnia.org. Details on how and what to audition may also be found at our website: polymnia.org/spotlight/ The Polymnia Choral Society was established in 1953 and is made up of about 80 people from Melrose and surrounding towns who love to sing and share their music with others. Our performances vary widely — from our winter holiday concerts in December, to our annual fundraising Caba(Courtesy photo) ret in January, our masterful works in March, and finally, our always fun pops concerts at the start of June. In recent years, we have performed everything from Joseph Haydn, James Whitbourn and Craig Hella Johnson to Elton John and Dolly Parton.
