Live auditions take place in front of a panel of judges that includes current club members, along with local professional musicians.
The newly established Barbara C. Littlefield Vocal Scholarship Fund was created in memory of the club’s longtime treasurer and vocalist. The Portland Rossini Club is a group of Maine musicians that perform regularly at St. Luke’s Cathedral in Portland.
