Zoom Auditions – September 10 and 11, 2020
Recorded Auditions are due August 15, 2020

Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, we cannot meet with you in person for a live audition. However, we are providing you with two options to audition for Calos.

Recorded Audition: Interested musicians are asked to prepare and record your performance of the audition music which can be found on our website – www.calosmusic.ca. You can upload your performance file by providing us with a shareable link (onedrive, googledrive, etc….). Send it to info@calosmusic.ca. The submission deadline is August 15, 2020. See below for more information.

Zoom Audition: Interested musicians are asked to contact the Calos Office to arrange an audition time. You will need access to a computer to facilitate the Zoom audition. Auditions will be scheduled on either September 10 or 11, 2020. See below for more information.

Here are some guidelines that you can use to help you prepare for your audition.

1) Interested musicians can reach us at calos.music@gmail.com or fill in the information form found on our website. We will be in contact with you shortly afterward.
2) All interested musicians should access the audition material that is posted on the Orchestra’s website. www.calosmusic.ca. Download and print the information PDF for your instrument.
3) Prepare for the audition. If you are taking private lessons, consult with your teacher for help in preparing. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Grant Etchegary at getchegary@gmail.com. We are here to help you.
4) For the Zoom audition option, the whole audition process will take no longer than fifteen minutes. During this time you will have the opportunity to perform for and speak with the artistic team of the Calos Youth Orchestras. The audition panel is extremely friendly and the audition experience is very casual. Though it is easy to say, but there is really no reason to be nervous.
