Audition for Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra

The Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra, an in-residence ensemble at Elgin Community College, invites young musicians with a desire to grow, play better and to think and feel more deeply about music to audition for the 2009-10 season.

The annual auditions are private and held at ECC. Since 1976, the EYSO has been challenging and inspiring an ever-widening circle of young musicians with rich, deep musical experiences. Today, the EYSO is the largest and oldest youth orchestra in northwest Illinois.

Auditions will be held from May 28-31. Students who will begin fourth grade in the fall to college students may audition for a seat in one of EYSO's five ensembles. Applications and audition requirements may be found at www.eyso.org, or by calling the EYSO office at (847) 841-7700.
