The WVYS Concerto Competition is open to any current member of the Wabash Valley Youth Symphony. The winners of the concerto competition will play with the orchestra on one of our concerts. One, two or three winners will be selected by the judges following the live auditions and will be scheduled according to repetoire considerations.
We are planning for live auditions on September 17, with the soloist performing from memory. Please turn in your completed form to Mrs. Letcher by Sept. 6.
If you are interested in competing, Mrs. Letcher will need to approve your piece prior to September 1. Your selection must be for solo instrument (not neccesarily the instrument you play in WVYS), with standard orchestration and availability. It should be no longer than 15 minutes in complete length - usually one movement of a concerto. Please email her for approval of your piece (cdletcher @ comcast.net). Include the complete title of the piece you want to play (include movement, key, opus number, etc) and the composer's name. If a composition is a rental, WVYS policy is the student/parents pay any cost above $300. Direct any questions to Mrs. Letcher as well.
