String Audition details
- Date: September 25, 2021
- Location: Room 190
- Time: 9am-5pm. Sign-ups can be found here.
The audition will consist of the following:
- A one-minute solo/etude of your choice.
- Excerpts from Shostakovich Symphony #10. Viola, Cello, Bass should prepare all excerpts provided. Violins will choose six excerpts from the list of twelve.
***We will be performing this work in the Fall. Therefore, I encourage that you commit to serious study for not only the audition, but also for the eventual performance. You may find it advantageous to learn the whole part, especially for viola, cello, bass who will definitely play those parts. For violin, I am including the second part in the audition folder in case you want to look at both parts in advance. I highly recommend it.
