Fall Seating Audition Spots

Fall Seating Auditions will take place at the BYSO Sinfonia retreat on Saturday, October 28. Attendance at the retreat is required, and there will be no make-up auditions. Those who do not audition at the retreat will be seated at the back of the section. Be sure to practice your individual part with careful attention to detail (including articulations) and to the musical aspects of the piece (dynamics, phrasing, etc.).  You should also listen to professional recordings for a guide to tempo and style.
