Auditions

WINTER 2024 AUDITIONS have concluded at this time:

.Returning members DO NOT need to audition.

Audition REQUIREMENTS:

.Auditions are typically held during the first or second week of the semester at the School of Music, and rehearsals begin the Wednesday after. Class registration and the syllabus for ENS 344 will be explained at the first rehearsal. 

Please prepare two selections in contrasting style and tempo that will best demonstrate your abilities. Auditions last about 3-5 minutes. You may sign up for either section of the class ahead of time and will audition for BOTH groups during your auditions. A roster will be posted before the first rehearsal on the canvas courses. Please DO NOT expect an email regarding your placement in the orchestras.

registration REQUIREMENTS:

.The University of Michigan Campus Symphony Orchestra (CSO) and Campus Philharmonia Orchestra (CPO) welcomes all incoming non-music major students to audition. Based on your audition, you'll be placed into one of the two orchestras based on your skill level. 

You may register for ENS 344 on Wolverine Access (either section) in order to receive more announcements. 

Still need help?
