Auditions

We encourage all applicants to fill out and submit the written application as soon as possible.

Recordings must be submitted by the deadline above.

Auditions are held in two rounds: first round by video submission, and second round live.

All excerpt packets include additional excerpts. You are only required to play the standard section excerpts. Other excerpts are only required if you are auditioning for a specific position (principal position, piccolo flute, bass clarinet, Eb clarinet, English Horn, contrabassoon, etc…).

Rehearsals are typically held Saturday mornings from 9 AM to 12 PM (with a 15-minute break).

Our rehearsal venue is dependent on the performance venue, but is generally in or near the LA area, at UCLA by default.

There are 4 to 5 Saturday rehearsals depending on the program, and guest artist.

Concerts are typically scheduled for Sunday with a 1.5-hour dress rehearsal, and a 1.5 hour meal break in between (meal provided).
