NYYS audition requirements
New York Youth Symphony asks string players to prepare a focused audition. Partly. A pre-screening video is required for several instruments (including violin, viola, and cello), then the live round is held online. 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: NYYS official audition page
