AUDITIONS
Thank you for your interest!
If you would like to audition, please complete our audition inquiry form. When we next schedule auditions, someone will be in touch.
PREPARE FOR YOUR AUDITION
Please prepare 2 contrasting selections:
A lyrical piece that demonstrates good musical style
A piece that showcases your technical ability
Each of the two selections should be at least five minutes long and should be a complete movement of a concerto, sonata or etude from which the audition proctors may choose a selection. Please bring with you copies of all music that you plan to play at the audition.
You will also be asked to sightread a piece of orchestral literature.
Please be prepared to play a selection for any auxiliary instrument that you can play.
Auditions last between 7 and 10 minutes.
