Recital Concert, or as the featured soloist with one of the
Festival's Orchestras.
Auditions are held every week, with winners selected by a panel of the NYSMF
faculty.
Audition Requirements
When auditioning for the solo performance program, auditionees must do the following:
- Bring their concerto solo part and the piano accompaniment with them to NYSMF
- Sign up for an audition by Monday afternoon
- Immediately arrange to rehearse with their assigned accompanist
- Audition at their assigned time on Tuesday evening
Student Concerto Competition
One Concerto winner each session will be chosen to perform with one of the festival’s orchestras during an end-of-session concert. Students may audition with a single
movement of any standard concerto, which must be played from
memory. Auditions for the concerto competition are only held
on the first Tuesday of each session.
