Students who did not audition in May for the 2026-2027 season are invited to audition for one of our orchestras August 29-30 at St. John’s Cathedral, 127 E. 12th Ave. There is no fee to audition.

The audition requirements and sign-up link to audition for an SYS orchestra (SYSO, Philharmonic, Sinfonietta, and Strings) are provided on the pages listed under the “Entrance Auditions” menu item on this page.

You may also access the audition sign-up schedule at the link below.

The student must be a returning SYS member or have been accepted by audition into one of the SYS orchestras for the 2026-2027 season before they can be enrolled.
