There are two rounds of auditions in the UK:
- Preliminaries are held in Birmingham, Glasgow,
London and Manchester. There is no preliminary round in Ireland. Candidates will be asked to
play a prepared piece of their own choosing (eg: a movement
from a concerto, a sonata etc) and a selection of orchestral extracts. Click here to download the orchestral extracts. Percussionists will be asked to play a selection of prepared orchestral
extracts only (no piece). An accompanist is provided at both first and second round audition.
- Finals are held in London and Dublin. The format is the same as the preliminary round.
- Members of the EUYO and those on the reserve list during
the last two years automatically qualify for the final round but
an application form must still be submitted.
The auditions in Ireland are handled by the National Youth Orchestra of Ireland. The EUYO is most grateful to NYOI for their time and commitment. For details of auditions in Ireland, please contact Zoe Keers:
