Ready to become part of one of our youth programs? Here’s everything you need to know:
To be in the Long Bay Youth Symphony, participants must register and audition for the program. To register, click here.
However, auditions are NOT required for participation in the Long Bay Youth String Ensemble. To join the LBYSE students must make a commitment to attend rehearsals and maintain a positive attitude towards learning. Membership will be open to all student string players with a year or more experience on their instrument. A strong focus will be placed on technique, string repertoire, musicianship, and ensemble performance skills. We encourage all interested students to contact LBYSE manager Deanne Renshaw at [email protected] for more information! To register for the LBYSE, click here.
The Long Bay Youth Symphony is open to players of all orchestral instruments, from 7th graders to college undergraduates (some exceptions to this may be granted, at the discretion of the director). There are only limited positions available for woodwinds, brass, and percussion. All members must re-audition each year.
Candidates will be notified of their acceptance status via email as soon as possible following their audition, but no later than the end of the week. Rehearsal attendance is mandatory, so mark your calendars now!
Please contact Youth Symphony Manager, Stephen Hand, at [email protected] for more information if you are interested in joining our group or feel free to call or visit our office between 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
