Come Play With Us

YPCO welcomes new members throughout the year; between formal audition dates, auditions may be scheduled individually. After our upcoming concerts is a perfect time to join us!

Musicians auditioning for the Preparatory Ensemble or Main Orchestra will be asked to play one prepared piece and then do some sight reading. For the Advanced Ensemble, the audition consists of two prepared movements (one slow and one fast, representing two stylistic periods) and sight reading.

For further information or to arrange an audition, please call (510) 595-4688.
