GTCYS audition requirements
Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphonies asks string players to prepare a focused audition. Yes. Every audition is submitted as a recorded video. A smartphone recording is explicitly fine. The fastest way to know your take is at standard is to score it 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: GTCYS official audition page
