AUDITION PROCESS

The audition process consists of two parts, the Video Screening as well as the Live Audition.

Note:

  • For percussion/timpani applicants: you will proceed directly to the live auditions and will not need to submit a video for screening.

  • For graduating batches (i.e. 'O' or 'A' level candidates and IB students) or international applicants outside of Singapore, you may submit a full audition tape (consisting of your solo work and the orchestral excerpts) instead of coming down for the live auditions. This will take the place of both the Video Screening and the Live Audition. If you wish to exercise this option, please inform us beforehand via email at orchestracamp@orchestra.sg by 21 Aug 2024, 2359. Deadline for these full audition tapes will be 26 Aug 2024, 2359.
