GSU Campus Orchestra 

If you’d like to register for the GSU Campus Orchestra, no formal audition is required, but you must have previous high school playing experience. A seating placement audition will take place at the start of the semester.

GSU Symphony Orchestra

Students who would like to perform in the GSU Symphony Orchestra should submit a video audition (requirements below) via email to Dr. Tamara Dworetz, Professor of Orchestral Studies, by the below deadlines. Scholarship opportunities are available for non-music majors who submit an exceptional video audition. Students who pass the video audition are then required to complete the Live Audition (under music majors) for seating placement.   Students who have previously been accepted/performed with the GSU Symphony are exempt from the video audition, and only need to perform the live-audition.

Audition Requirements:

1. Video yourself performing 2-3 minutes from a solo, etude, and/or concerto that best demonstrates your musical and technical ability.
2. Email this audition video directly to [email protected] along with a few sentences about your musical background and why you want to join the GSU Symphony Orchestra.
3. Results
   1. If accepted into the GSU Symphony, you may then go ahead and register for the class. You should also complete the live audition for seating placement (see music major column).
   2. If you are not accepted, you may still perform with the Campus Orchestra.

We encourage you to submit your videos as soon as possible! You will be notified of audition results in no more than one week after your submission so that you may plan your class schedule accordingly. 

Note: GSU Symphony Orchestra is a 1 credit class. All students, regardless of major, are held to high-level expectations of preparedness and attendance.
