The 2018-2019 CYSO application process is now closed.
Auditions
Membership in CYSO is open to students in 6th through 12th grades and is determined by audition. View detailed audition requirements by instrument on our Requirements page.
Minimum Audition Requirements
In order to audition for CYSO, students must have a minimum of two years of playing experience, either through private lessons or with school or community ensembles. The only exception to this rule is for violists who are switching from violin, as long as they have had at least two years of combined experience on violin and viola. Although we require at least two years of experience, please keep in mind that the majority of our members do have three or more years of experience.
Audition Dates
Auditions for the 2018-2019 season are now closed. Open auditions will be held again in September 2019.
