SFSYO - Audition Application
No application fee required.

View our audition requirements by instrument here: https://www.sfsymphony.org/EducationCommunity/SFS-Youth-Orchestra/SFSYO-How-to-Audition-Requirement

AUDITIONEES, please complete the form below, being sure to fill out all required fields, and submit once completed.  Please do not complete any field with all caps unless it is specified by the title of a piece.  If a REQUIRED field is not applicable to your situation, please complete with "N/A."  If a field is NOT REQUIRED and not applicable to your situation, please leave it blank.

PARENTS: Please do not complete this for your young musician.  It is vital they begin their process with our program independently with your guidance as appropriate.

PLEASE NOTE:  This is an application and not a registration.  You will be contacted with notification of your application and audition status.  For students 13 years or older, we expect all primary contact to be with the APPLICANT.  Primary email ("Email" as listed immediately below) and phone should be that of the APPLICANT (student/auditionee) as the one pursuing this opportunity.  Email is our primary method for informing you of next steps and details, though we will communicate by phone as well.  Your voicemail must be setup to receive messages.  We ask that parents partner with us to coach students as to how to communicate in a professional and responsible manner as needed, but our primary contact should be with the applicant.  Later fields will be provided for additional contact information.  

Applicants will be notified of their audition status after the deadline for consideration, March 15, 2023 and given further details about how auditions will be scheduled.  Late applications will be reviewed and considered on a case-by-case basis.  There is no reason to count yourself out if your application is submitted after the deadline - we often have room for more candidates.  APPLICANTS SHOULD NOT WAIT to begin preparing audition requirements listed above and should begin their preparation at the time of application if not earlier.

*COVID-19 VACCINATION - that is full vaccination plus at least one booster - is not required for the application.  IT WILL, however, be a requirement should applicants be invited to live auditions at Davies Symphony Hall in April/May.
