Youth Symphony Messages

Music Tests – 11/6/2023

For those of you needing to complete music tests, please arrive by 6:00 prepared to play the material that was assigned for your instrument’s seating audition. Alternatively, if your assigned part is different from the one we used for seating auditions (violin 1 vs violin 2, for example), you may play the same passage on the part to which you’ve been assigned.

Seating Auditions Update – 10/1/2023

Dear Youth Symphony Musicians,

Thank you for a great retreat yesterday! Please find the results of your seating auditions here.

If you changed parts from those to which you were originally assigned, please be sure to print the correct parts before our rehearsal tomorrow night.

Mr. Salvaggio
