Auditions for Macon Symphony Youth Orchestra's 2012-13 Season

at Neva Langley Fickling Hall at the McCorkle Music Building - Mercer University

Come play with us!

Young musicians (grade 12 or younger) are invited to join the Youth Orchestra for a chance to improve their musicianship by playing in a full orchestra, to play concerts all over middle Georgia, and to connect with exceptional players from other schools. It’s like getting to play in All-State or District Band every week!

Students may audition for the following ensembles: 

Full Orchestra – our top ensemble for winds, strings, and percussion. Rehearses on Monday evenings from 6:30 – 9pm and performs 4-6 concerts each season.

String Orchestra – for developing players, to prepare them for future membership in the Full Orchestra. Rehearses Monday evenings from 6 – 7:15pm.  

Chamber Ensembles – Select players will have the chance to join chamber ensembles coached by professional musicians. Chamber ensembles will meet every other week. String Quartet (violin, violin, viola, cello); Woodwind Quintet (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn); Brass Quintet (trumpet, trumpet, horn, trombone, tuba); Percussion Ensemble; Flute Choir (all flutes from full orchestra and other interested players)
