Auditions

Welcome!

GTCYS auditions are opportunities to play your instrument so we can get to know you and match you with one of our ten incredible orchestras. Our 2023-24 season runs September 2023 – May 2024, and marks GTCYS’ 52nd season. To audition for GTCYS, you will register online, record a video, and submit your audition online. Stay tuned about opportunities for new students to audition in December for the second semester of the 2023-24 season. Click here to view audition flyer!
