WHERE: Woolworth 102
round one: solo audition (blind auditions)
WHAT: Each candidate will perform 3-5 minutes of unaccompanied repertoire from any era. We highly recommend preparing repertoire with contrasting sections (though not required). You are allowed to use your own music. If you would like to audition for Opus on two instruments, please select two different audition times! :)
WHEN: September 14th and 15th
WHERE: Woolworth 106
round two: ensemble audition
WHAT: Candidates will be given an excerpt to prepare from a selected chamber music piece. Each candidate will run through and then rehearse the excerpt with current Opus members. Following some rehearsal, the group will run the excerpt again.
