SLSYO audition requirements
St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra asks string players to prepare a focused audition. Confirm the current audition format on the official site. 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: SLSYO official audition page
