How to apply
Please fill in the application form above so we can send further details to you. We are currently accepting applications for the upcoming project (performance on 29 June). Auditions are free of charge: the process is more about us getting to know your playing than about getting in or not. If you have any queries or if you would like to pop into a rehearsal to see what it’s like, do just email us.
Performance Video
The purpose of the performance video is not so much to audition but to get to know your playing. We ask for a short video of you playing something of your choosing. There is no need for you to play a complete piece, but pick something which you feel represents your playing well. The video can be transferred to us at [email protected] using WeTransfer. Accompaniment is optional.
Playing Standard
The expected standard is approximately Grade 7+ for wind and brass players. Clarinettists should have a pair of instruments (A and Bb); trumpet and horn players should have some transposing experience and trombonists should have met the tenor clef. For strings and percussion, the level is Grade 6+. There is no need to have taken exams. Contact us if you have any questions.
Video Guidance
You don’t need expensive equipment to record your audition – recording on a phone is perfectly fine. Set up in a room where you can feel comfortable and choose something to play that you enjoy performing.
