Mid-Columbia Youth Symphony and Cadet Strings Auditions
Winter Auditions for 20-21 Season have started! This session will run until mid-March 2021.
As we are virtual this year, we are combining Youth Orchestra and Cadet Strings.
Tuition for the Winter Session is $90
Though we are virtual this winter, MCYO is dedicated to providing high quality and innovative symphony programming for young musicians of the Tri-Cities. This winter we will present an adjusted curriculum, that will compliment and supplement local school programs and private lessons. Our goal is to develop and improve musicianship through Symphony Orchestra literature and community.
AUDITIONS ARE STILL OPEN. However, there will be no prorating for late applicants.
