The CCS is right for you if:

  • You are an accomplished amateur
  • You are a professional looking to build your repertoire
  • You are a music educator who misses playing in orchestras
  • You are an advanced student looking for experience
  • You are a retired professional who just can’t quit
  • You want to make music in an environment which is challenging, yet positive with friendly colleagues in a beautiful new performing arts center on up and coming H St NE!
FOR AUDITIONS, PLEASE PREPARE:

2 contrasting selections:
  1. Lyrical piece that demonstrates good musical style
  2. A piece that showcases your technical ability
You will also be asked to sightread a piece of orchestral literature.
Please be prepared to play a selection for any auxiliary instrument that you can play.

Auditions last between 7 and 10 minutes. Each of the two selections should be at least five minutes long and should be a complete movement of a concerto, sonata or etude from which the audition proctors may choose a selection. Please bring with you copies of all music that you plan to play at the audition.
