About
Instrumentalists—soloists, duos, trios, quartets, and small chamber groups—are invited to audition for a chance to perform in the West Jordan Symphony’s annual Solo & Ensemble Showcase. This is a supportive and encouraging opportunity to share your artistry and collaborate with the symphony in performance.
Who Can Audition
Open to community musicians and West Jordan Symphony members.
Solos, duos, trios, quartets, and small chamber ensembles are welcome (typically up to 10 players).
Repertoire & Time Limits
Prepare one movement or short work, up to 10 minutes in length.
Concertos are allowed, but Director approval is required prior to audition if you wish to be considered for a concerto performance with the symphony.
Accompaniment & Concerto Policy
The symphony will not accompany auditions.
A piano will be available; please provide your own accompanist if needed.
Musicians wishing to perform a concerto with full symphony accompaniment must receive Director approval before auditioning.
Email your concerto title, movement(s), score, and instrumentation (orchestration) for review.
If you do not have prior approval for your concerto from the Director, your audition will still be heard, but you may not be selected as a performer in this year’s showcase.
If you are selected to perform a concerto with the West Jordan Symphony, you must provide the symphony with the required music materials:
Full conductor’s score and complete orchestral parts
Supplied as hard copies or digital files of public-domain editions or legally purchased/licensed materials
Parts must be legible, complete, and include all movements/cues to be performed
Deadline: Please provide materials within 7 days of selection (earlier is appreciated) so our librarians can prepare and distribute parts.
Note: If your edition is under copyright, you are responsible for purchasing/renting and supplying the legal parts/score (including any rental fees). Selections may be reconsidered if materials cannot be legally obtained in time.
