Fall 2023 Orchestra Audition Music Strings

String auditions for the WKU Symphony will take place on Sunday, August 20, 2023, from 1–5pm in the Ivan WilsonFine 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. Wind and percussion students will be chosen using the material below and through the Symphonic Band Audition process - see those excerpts on the Symphonic Band audition page.
