Audition Results

Congratulations to the 2019-2020 Northern Utah Youth Symphony and Chamber Orchestra!

We are grateful for all who auditioned so far. This is not a final list as we are still receiving other auditions via uploaded video. But if you are on the list, you are accepted into that particular orchestra! If you have questions or concerns, please contact us! We have done our utmost to be thorough, but sometimes we make mistakes. 

Our first rehearsal is September 14th! Plan on it!

If you did not receive the audition packet, here is a link to all you missed.

Again, thank you for your patience!

Conrad Dunn, NUYS Conductor

This year, our concertmaster will be Rebecca Hales! After years as our highly capable principal second violin, she is well prepared to lead our first violin section! Congrats, Rebecca!

Also, this is not a final list! We are waiting for auditions from several other people, including another French Horn, another Harp, and a few more violins. Recruit your friends to bolster to our Trumpet and Trombone sections. And if you know a youth who plays bassoon, make sure that bassoonist knows about us! We hope to play pieces from The Planets this year, and we need a large orchestra!

On this list, the woodwinds and brass are in seating order, but the strings are in no particular order (actually, they're alphabetical). 

Thank you for your patience as we continue to work out seating! We will follow up with another email in the next week with repertoire and more details.

Audition Reminder and Details

Greetings fellow musicians,

Here is a gentle reminder that if you haven't signed up to audition this Saturday, please do. Our morning is full, our afternoon is not. 

Here is the NUYS Audition Page with all the scale requirements and  orchestra excerpts. Download, print, practice, come prepared!!!

We much prefer for you to audition in person. However, we do offer an option for you to submit a video. If you are sending a video, please fill out the membership form (linked on the NUYS Audition page), and then use our handy-dandy form to submit your video. Click Here for the Video Upload form.

Last Tuesday, we sent posters to every school, so if you are at school and don't see our poster in the band or orchestra room, go ask your teacher if it came in the mail! We will have extra posters at auditions this Saturday for you to take and post in case the posters didn't end up where they were supposed to go.

Please contact me if you have any questions! This is going to be a great year! So excited to get things started!

Have a Musical Day!

Julie

Auditions Coming Up!

Hello all ye awesome musicians!

Quick reminder that it's time to fill out the membership form, read through the audition requirements, download your orchestral excerpt, and sign up for an audition time! We are just over 3 weeks out! I can't believe summer has gone so quickly!

Here is the NUYS Audition page with all the info. 

Chamber auditions are the same day, and The NUYCO audition page is ready too. They also need to sign up for a time since all auditions will be in the same room this year. 

Share this with your friends, and let's create another amazing orchestra!

Have a great evening,

Julie

Free Music!

Dear Music Teachers, 

For years, we have stored (in my garage!) a large collection of band and miscellaneous music simply because we did not want to see it destroyed, but we are running out of room for our expanding youth symphony and chamber orchestra library, so it's time to clean house and make a concerted effort to give this music away. 

With that in mind, Josie, my assistant and music librarian, has spent the summer putting together a spreadsheet with all available music, just for you! Please have a look and let us know if there's anything you would like! The only thing we request is that if you claim it, we will send you an address, and you pick it up in a timely manner!

Here's hoping that by doing this, we can give back to the music community that has supported us for so many years! 

Here is a "view only" link to the google spreadsheet. 

Notice the tabs at the bottom. In the left tab you will see everything in one place, and in the many other tabs, Josie has put together separate lists by category. As music is claimed, I will update the spreadsheet with a strike-through on the music no longer available. 

Again, thank you, and I hope that this can be helpful to you in your efforts to support the musical growth of our young people in the region. 

Feel free to forward this email to anyone who might be interested!

Julie Gardner, Managing Director Northern Utah Youth Symphony, 435.740.4335
