Audition Info and Requirements

We know auditions can be intimidating, so we work to make them easier. There is a place at EYSO for all students with 2+ years of experience. Your audition helps our directors to place you where you’ll play your best. 

Auditions typically include: 

  1. A solo piece and/or specific excerpts for your instrument 
  2. Scales 
  3. Sightreading

Join the Chamber Music Institute

EYSO’s Chamber Music Institute lets you play as a soloist in small groups with your friends, like string quartets, brass trios, or woodwind quintets. It’s a chance to lead, grow creatively, and build new skills. 

No extra audition is needed—just indicate your interest on your audition application, and your EYSO audition will be used for placement.
