Auditions
Your audition should last about 15 minutes.
You are invited to play a piece of your own choice, demonstrating your current technical and musical standard. It should not last more than 5 minutes. Two short excerpts in contrasting styles will be acceptable.
A piece of music will be emailed out to you approximately 7 to 14 days before the audition for you to prepare.
You will be asked to sight-read a short passage.
Part of the audition will be an informal interview by the panel.
The auditions can be competitive. We sometimes find ourselves auditioning musicians, all of whom would be technically and musically suitable, but to whom we are unable to offer a place as places are limited."
