GDYO audition requirements
Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra asks string players to prepare a focused audition. Yes. Video recording-based auditions. The organization states: 'GDYO auditions are done via video recording.' The fastest way to get your take to standard is to fix the passage holding it back, on the same five dimensions a panel listens for, before you ever hit submit.
Requirements, repertoire, and dates change every season and vary by instrument and ensemble. Always confirm the current, official requirements before you prepare: GDYO official audition page
