Orchestra Audition Clinic 2023

Princeton Violins is happy to collaborate with Maestro ERIC WYRICK, the concertmaster of the New Jersey Symphony and provide a clinic targeted towards preparation for orchestra auditions. We are very excited to provide this opportunity to our musical community and hope it will help young musicians reach their goal of successfully auditioning for orchestra. This event will include mock auditions, work on orchestral excerpts, scales and sight-reading practice strategies. Eric Wyrick will provide personalized commentaries and coaching on how to approach practicing orchestral repertoire and share strategies on how to audition for orchestra. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/D7Pvw00
