Auditions

AUDITIONS:

We don’t hold formal auditions but a high level of sight-reading ability is expected.  I do like to get a sense of people’s level to excuser we are selecting appropriate repertory.  It is expected that people have at least three years of playing experience and are currently taking lesson or have taken at least three years of lessons prior to coming to Lafayette.  Only section leaders are selected by audition.    Please contact Lewis Baratz at baratzl@lafayette.edu if you have any questions.

Here are some samples of the repertory we have recently played to give you an idea of the level of the orchestra.

 

Johann Sebastian Bach, Brandenburg Concerto No. 3

Béla Bartók, Romanian Folk Dances

Elaine Fine, 2 Hungarian Dances

Felix Mendelssohn, Sinfoniesatz in C minor
