Auditions for the 2008-2009, 51st Anniversary Season
When: May 19-25, 2008
Where: Boston University, College of Fine Arts, 855 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston

All prospective and returning orchestra musicians must audition each year for membership.   The Boston Youth Symphony Orchestras' (BYSO) artistic staff evaluates each audition to assess a musician's current level of technical ability, musical understanding, expression and potential.   Placements are then determined by audition results.

Please note that candidates do not audition for a specific orchestra but rather for membership in the BYSO as a whole. Once accepted, candidates are placed in one of the BYSO's four orchestras according to their level of advancement.

The BYSO auditions are open to students who are in grades K-12.

You may apply to audition by:

•  Requesting an application by emailing Tracy Fitzmartin, Operations manager.
•  Calling our office at (617) 353-3348 and requesting an audition brochure.
•  Full Application Brochure
