IN CASE OF AUDITIONING FOR BOTH ENSEMBLES

Memorization is not required. If you would like to memorize your solos, you are welcome to do so.
Wear nice dress clothes that are comfortable for you to perform in. Remember that this is the first impression you will make on those who will evaluate you. It is also a good idea to practice in the clothes you are planning to wear at least once before your audition.
All audition results will be announced by via email and will be posted in this website. All auditioning students will be contacted regardless of the outcome.
Cornell affiliation and a love of music are all that is required. All students, staff, and faculty are welcome to our community of music makers.
