KELSEYVILLE, Calif. — The Lake County Symphony Association is holding an audition event for their newly organized Lake County Adult & Youth Concert Orchestra on Sunday, Feb. 2.
It will take place beginning at 4 p.m. in the Friendship Hall at Kelseyville Presbyterian Church, 4021 Church St.
This invitational performance group is for intermediate to advanced musicians of all ages from Lake County and the surrounding areas.
Membership in this elite ensemble is determined through audition and/or by recommendation.
Adult and youth musicians who have demonstrable intermediate to advanced skills on an orchestral instrument are encouraged to audition.
Adult musicians with a music degree or college-level music studies and performance experience may bypass the audition process and are asked to participate in the Feb. 2 audition event to determine placement in the orchestra.
Youth musicians may bypass the audition process if they have a recommendation from a school music teacher or a recognized private music instructor affirming their intermediate to advanced skill level. Instead, recommended youth are asked to participate in the Feb. 2 audition event to determine placement in the orchestra.
By playing in an orchestral setting, participation in this group can serve as an enhancement to a student's musical experience alongside their regular musical activities.
Dedicated youth members of the Concert Orchestra can become eligible for scholarships for future studies of any collegiate subject from both the Lake County Symphony Association and the Allegro Scholarship Program.
The Lake County Adult & Youth Concert Orchestra performs at least four times a year, both opening for the Lake County Symphony during their regular season and in exclusive concerts.
The orchestra's next concert is at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 23, at the Soper Reese Theatre in Lakeport.
