NYSMF Solo Performance Opportunities


NYSMF offers numerous solo and ensemble performance opportunities. Any student is welcome to audition for a chance to perform in a Student Recital Concert, or as the featured soloist with one of the Festival's Orchestras.

Auditions are held every week, with winners selected by a panel of the NYSMF faculty.
