Audition Requirements

Video Audition

Please include a link to a high-quality video recording, uploaded to YouTube as either a public or private video with link sharing enabled. Video submissions must be completed as a single take including all required pieces and clearly show the applicant and their instrument, and played without accompaniment. While light editing to trim the beginning and end of the video is permitted, the playing portion itself may not be digitally edited in any way in order to capture the live performance abilities of each applicant. High quality microphones are recommended, but not required. Please refer to your instrument section below for specific audition requirements and recommended repertoire.

Students auditioning for the Introduction to Chamber Music program are encouraged to refer to the requirements outlined below for the Chamber Music Performance Series, but may opt to play any excerpt of any work that best represents their current level of playing. Groups are assigned based on present level, projected trajectory, and faculty recommendation.

For students auditioning for the Chamber Music Performance Series, please refer to your instrument section below for a list of requirements. For repertoire outside of the suggested pieces, please contact info@tyafoundation.org for approval. Auditions that do not meet the requirements outlined without prior approval may not receive consideration for the Chamber Music Performance Series.
