CINCINNATI - The CSO Backstage workshop originally scheduled for March has been rescheduled for 5 p.m. on Saturday, April 26, at Music Hall.

The Audition Process — Cincinnati Symphony Youth Orchestra and Beyond

(Please make reservations by Wednesday, April 23)

CSO Assistant Conductor Eric Dudley and CCM Assistant Dean Paul Hillner answer your audition questions and CSYO musicians demonstrate key audition skills.  Mr. Hillner can also offer guidance about what kinds of courses and experiences you will want to have before you apply to college music programs.  Topics to be explored include: What are they listening for? How should I prepare? What if I get nervous? Is there a better way to practice?
