YSC Frequently Asked Questions
- Why did you change the name to Youth Solo Competition?
- To make the competition more inclusive for voice entrants. Since eligible voice pieces are rarely labeled "concertos" we changed the name to include all solo performances. Entrants must still have their competition piece approved by the Symphony in advance to make sure it is appropriate.
- Will the Symphony provide sheet music or an accompanist for the competition?
- No. The musicians must provide their own music (plus 3 photocopies of it for the judges) and their own accompanist. The Symphony will provide contact information for possible accompanists if needed.
- Will there be a dress rehearsal?
- All musicians will be given time on stage to rehearse with their music teachers on the day of the competition, though it will not be formal dress rehearsal. In 2010 the stage rehearsal time will be 1:00-4:00pm on June 2. The amount of stage time will depend upon how many musicians enter the competition. After the application deadline, the office will contact each musician to schedule their stage time.
