New Member Audition Process

---

Please note that the audition requirements listed at the bottom of this page are the minimum required for entrance; being able to meet these requirements will not guarantee acceptance into either orchestra. Out of the many students capable of meeting these requirements each year, our coaches choose the students who can play at the level of students currently in each orchestra. We believe that the audition process is a good educational opportunity whether or not the student is accepted, and we strongly encourage all students in their musical pursuits.

All auditions will take place at the Mary Pappert School of Music at Duquesne University. Audition dates for entrance into the 2012-2013 season:
