String Orchestra Repertoires and Registration

Our string orchestra programs TYSO and TYSS do not require formal auditions and are open to students with a minimum of one year of experience. You may be asked to submit a video, or be asked to play for the conductor at some point in the process. This is simply to determine seating arrangements, and is not an audition. Registration will open in June.
