Orchestra Audition Music
Fall 2024 Orchestra Audition Music - Strings
String auditions for the WKU Symphony will take place on Sunday, August 18, 2024, from 1–5pm in the Ivan Wilson Fine Arts Center, Room 300. A sign-up sheet will be posted by August 14 outside FAC 300.
In addition to selections from the posted pieces, string players will play a 2-3 octave scale of their choosing (violinists seeking to sit in the first violins must play a three-octave scale). Find recordings and LISTEN to the excerpts for style. Tempos are indicated on the excerpt.
