Time: 9am-4pm

Location: Advent Lutheran Church, 1775 E. Market Street, York, PA, 17402

Getting Ready: 

1.Registration has closed! If you missed the deadline, you must e-mail info@yorkyouthsymphony.org immediately and we will see if we can still accommodate your audition!

2. Prepare for the audition. See this page which outlines in details the necessary material/requirements. In shorter summary:

Auditions for the YYSO are open to all string, wind, brass, and percussion students in grades 9-12. All current and former members of the YYSO, students attending public, private, cyber, and charter schools, homeschooled students, and any college students are encouraged to audition for a player position in the orchestra.

 

Members of the YYSO must also be active and in good standing with their school’s music organizations. In cases where extenuating circumstances prevent student artists from being active in their school’s ensembles, a written letter of permission to be a member of the YYSO must be obtained from the school orchestra director (or band director if school does not have an orchestral program). In the event that a student and their school director are not able to resolve this issue, the YYSO conductor should be contacted and the matter will be addressed by the YYSO conductor with the school conductor.

The YYSO rehearses on Saturday mornings from 8:30-11:00am from September-May at Central York HS (new rehearsal location this year!). The current schedule for 2024-2025 is available here and includes dates for both the rehearsals and concerts. Please note that the schedule is subject to change and that there are no rehearsals from Thanksgiving to New Year's. By completing the audition process, you acknowledge that you are available for the concert dates and are available for regular rehearsal attendance throughout the season. Any issues with this must be communicated to the Music Director prior to auditioning.

Please direct any general audition questions to info@yorkyouthsymphony.org.
