Section string audition guidelines

Rather than prescribing specific solo repertoire and orchestral excerpts, we ask that you select some music which you feel best demonstrates your abilities, based on the following guidelines:

  • Please prepare at least two contrasting excerpts, one of which is primarily lyrical in character and one of which is primarily technical in character. For the latter, please select an excerpt that demonstrates contrasting bowing styles.

  • These may be from solo works (sonatas, concertos, etc.), chamber works, orchestral works, or études; please keep in mind the goal of providing us the best possible picture of you as a musician.
