Springfield, OH - The Springfield Youth Symphony, Springfield Youth Chamber Orchestra, and Springfield Youth String Ensemble, all educational components of the Springfield Symphony Orchestra (SSO), will hold auditions for the 2010-2011 season on Monday, August 9, and Monday, August 23, 2010. The auditions will be held at the Clark State Performing Arts Center, 300 S. Fountain Ave., Springfield OH.

Under the direction of Music Director Jun Kim, the Springfield Youth Symphony (SYS) provides ensemble and solo performance opportunities in a full orchestra setting through concerts and outreach activities. The Youth String Ensemble and Youth Chamber Orchestra serve beginning and intermediate string players in a group performance experience that introduces members to string literature with a focus on ensemble skills. Rehearsals are held on Monday evenings from September to April in the professional environment of the Kuss Auditorium and Turner Studio Theater at the Clark State Performing Arts Center.

The Springfield Youth Orchestra program features opportunities for chamber music, professional coaching and instruction from SSO members, and a Side-by Side concert with the SSO. As part of the orchestra’s Project Protégé program, select Youth Symphony students may also perform with the Springfield Symphony on a subscription concert.

The Springfield Youth Orchestras program currently has over 110 participants from 40 area schools and homeschools in 8 different counties. Home-educated students are encouraged to audition. The August 9th auditions are for all stringed instruments, and the August 23rd auditions are for all brass instruments, oboe, bassoon, and percussion.
