Auditions Information
Applications for this year have now closed. Please check back towards the end of the year for information on applying for the 2014/15 programme.
The auditions are in the same kind of format as the Orchestra’s real auditions. Audition days are designed so that you have time to get to know us, and us you. Sessions will last for approximately 3 hours and in that time you will have the opportunity to meet, hear and play alongside Britten Sinfonia members who will be the Academy tutors. The session will include:
- Introduction from Britten Sinfonia musicians
- Group exercises
- Work as a small chamber group (alongside other young musicians and Britten Sinfonia musicians)
- Solo performance performed to the panel (c. 10 minutes)
- Short interview with the panel
We will supply an accompanist but if you are more comfortable with your own accompanist, you’re more than welcome to bring them with you.
