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 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: NYYS official audition page
