ESYO audition requirements
Empire State Youth Orchestra asks string players to prepare a focused audition. Yes (optional). You may audition in person or submit a self-recorded video, accepted on a rolling basis until spots fill. 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: ESYO official audition page
