INSTRUCTIONS and excerpts

2023-2024 Ensemble Auditions

published April 2023


Each instrument has specific requirements for the audition. Depending on the orchestra for which you are auditioning, your audition may include orchestral excerpts, scales, and a solo. Only Symphony and Concert Orchestra auditions will require you to perform a solo. The orchestral excerpts are one of the most important parts of the CKYO audition as they are taken from repertoire for each ensemble that is typical of the level of repertoire that the Orchestra will perform for the season.  
 
The instructions are listed below by instrument, then orchestra. Find your instrument and then prepare an audition for the orchestra that best matches your playing level at this time in your musical development.
