Ensemble Auditions

Fall 2021 Audition Information

Mandatory ensemble auditions will be done virtually this year via video submission. Excerpts below are divided out by instrument and the first page of each excerpts package includes a list of what is in it and some instructions if necessary.

Returning students will note that some excerpt packages have remained the same from last year. If your excerpt package says “2020-2021” at the top instead of “2021-2022” please rest assured that you still have the correct package.

Full details on requirements and how to submit your virtual video audition will be emailed to your Laurier email. All ensemble audition videos are due no later than Sunday, Sept. 5, 2021.
