Whether or not a student has been in the SYO/SYC program before, ALL STUDENTS MUST REAUDITION, as we want to hear every student’s progress from each year. Past SYO musicians will be accepted into the program again, but they must reaudition in order for us to properly seat them in the ensemble.
If you have any questions regarding the audition process or 2023-2024 SYO/SYC season, please email the SSO Education and Operations Manager, Inger Neighbors, at inger@springfieldsym.org
