Auditions for 2021 - TBA
​

Overture Strings students do not need to audition.
​Register at the "Overture Strings - School Year registration"


Picture
Cascade Youth Symphony Orchestras are comprised of four Orchestras and an Overture Strings program. If you love music and would like to take your music to a new level we most likely have placement opportunities at just your level. Each year we are looking for String, Wind, Brass, and Percussion musicians for the coming season

Preparation for the (friendly) Cascade Youth Symphony Audition-
For your audition you should be prepared to play the following:
  • A major and a melodic minor scale (2-3 octaves) in any key you choose
  • A 3-5 minute solo of your choice (no accompanist)
  • Sight reading provided by the audition coaches


When you register, you will be able to select a time range for the day of your audition.  You will receive an email with your specific audition time after the beginning of July. To confirm your spot, you will need to pay a NONREFUNDABLE $35 audition fee AND respond that you would like to accept that appointment.

All auditions will be held at the Edmonds Woodway High School in Edmonds.
