New Information for Violinists Due to the large number of violinists, we are splitting these auditions into three groups: one for TYP, one for TYS and one for TYO.
The requirements will be different. Violinists may take up to two separate auditions, for no additional charge. Please only sign up for the particular orchestra[s] in which you wish to participate because each orchestra
