We are always looking for talented musicians to join our ensembles! An audition is your first step in this wonderful journey. Playing in one of our ensembles will give you expert guidance from professionals who are invested in your musical growth. We love helping you progress!
Our preference is for students to partake in an IN-PERSON audition. This way we can meet, provide immediate and direct feedback, answer any questions etc. That being said, we recognize that is sometimes not possible with schedules. Because of that, we also offer a virtual option where students submit a video audition. Please read the information below and fill out the appropriate form. See below for tips on making your audition video. Virtual Auditions - Making your video: It is perfectly fine to make your audition video with a smartphone. If we have any issues with the clarity of the video or the sound, we will get in touch with you. We want the video audition to feel as “live” as possible. Your audition should be played straight through, all in one video file. Please dress as you would for a live audition. Videos must be submitted through a YouTube link. Please follow these steps to create your video:
