We are currently accepting applications for the 2021/2022 season of the Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra.
The priority audition deadline for the 2021-22 BPYO season was in May, but we still have some openings to fill in a second round of auditions in early September.
The audition form and instructions are available here. There is a $15 audition fee (charged by Acceptd). If you are unable to pay the fee, please email bpyo@bostonphil.org and we will assist you.
Please prepare two contrasting pieces or movements of the highest level that showcase your musical and technical abilities. Pieces from different styles and time periods are encouraged. Please also prepare the designated orchestral excerpts for your instrument (posted below). BPYO auditions may include an informal interview, to be scheduled separately after we receive your application. Inquiries about auditions should be directed to the BPYO office, 617.470.8382 or bpyo@bostonphil.org.
The excerpts for the fall 2021-2022 BPYO auditions are available here. Please select, download, and print the appropriate part at your convenience.
