Young instrumentalists are invited to apply to take part in the Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra’s 2011 Youth Concerto Festival in August.
Entries for this vibrant annual showcase of up-and-coming musical excellence close on 6 May 2011, with live auditions taking place on 28 May 2011. Should applicants be out of town or unavailable on 28 May, the JPO audition panel will accept a live DVD (not an audio CD) recording of their audition performance.
Only a handful of the country’s most exceptional young instrumentalists will subsequently be selected to participate in the prestigious Youth Concerto Festival, alongside the JPO.
Applicants must be aged 25 or younger, and the orchestral parts must be available, or easily obtainable, in South Africa. The repertoire can include short pieces written for soloist and orchestra, and does not necessarily have to be part of a concerto. Each musician’s chosen work should be no longer than 11 minutes in duration.
This year, the JPO’s sixth annual Youth Concerto Festival will be held at 8pm on 31 August at the Linder Auditorium in Parktown, Johannesburg. The event is headed up by Sonja Bass, who oversees the JPO’s development and education programme.
