Cheshire Youth Orchestra Auditions

Auditions for Cheshire Youth Orchestra – Saturday 23rd September 2017
Mid Cheshire College.

The Cheshire Youth Orchestras* comprise some of the most talented young musicians from all over Cheshire. The three orchestras provide a fun and friendly environment where young musicians can meet and play in a symphony orchestra setting on a regular basis to develop their musical skills.

Although passing your grade five exam is not a requirement, we recommend that you can play to around grade five standard for this orchestra.
For the audition, we’d like you to play two short contrasting pieces or extracts from two pieces and there will be a short piece of sight reading.
The audition will last around ten minutes and you will be given written feedback.
