YOLA audition requirements
Youth Orchestra Los Angeles asks string players to prepare a focused audition. Confirm enrollment and audition format on the official YOLA page. This is a community music education program, not a traditional auditioned-entry youth orchestra. 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: YOLA official audition page
