We are now accepting applications for the 2018/2019 season of the Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra.
The priority audition period for the 2018-19 BPYO season is in early May. Please complete the online sign up by clicking below. We will contact you to schedule a time after we receive your application.
A second round of auditions will be held in early September for any openings not filled in the spring auditions. Priority is giving to those who audition in the spring, and we cannot guarantee openings on any particular instrument for the fall, so we encourage you to audition now if at all possible.
Please prepare two contrasting pieces or movements of the highest level that showcase your musical and technical abilities, as well as designated orchestral excerpts below. BPYO auditions will also include an informal interview. Inquiries about auditions should be directed to the BPYO office, 617.470.8382 or bpyo@bostonphil.org.
There is no fee to take the audition. Read the BPYO Audition FAQ
