So if you're a high school student who would like to get your "Glee" on (only in a much cooler way), here's your chance: Community Chorus Project is looking for a few good singers. A few score good singers, actually.

Local arts entrepreneur Lauren Hodge assembled the initial Community Chorus Project last year, which debuted with fine performances of R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts" and Adele's "Rolling in the Deep." Recorded and filmed at Manifold Recording Studio with arrangements by Shana Tucker and The Beast's Eric Hirsh, videos went out far and wide, earning the approval of R.E.M. Now they're looking to do it again in August, this time covering Radiohead, Ben Folds Five, Bruno Mars and others. Members of Lost in the Trees, Megafaun and The Old Ceremony are among the local musicians participating.

If you want in, auditions will be May 12 at UNC-Chapel Hill. For details, go here.

Two Triangle jazz musicians have been up in Washington, D.C., recently to participate in a highly prestigious gig, Betty Carter's Jazz Ahead residency at the Kennedy Center. Keyboardist Eric Hirsh (whose sister Rachel is also a keyboardist of note, in the Chapel Hill band I Was Totally Destroying It) and drummer/NC Central graduate Clifton Wallace are among the 30 members of this year's class.

They'll both be onstage at the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage at 6 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday to perform. You should be able to listen to it online here.
