Frequently asked questions
How do I join?
Download an application form from this website. It is advisable to send in your application at any point during the year although the bulk of auditions are held around October, so do send in good time for this. If vacancies arise during a season the received application forms can come in very useful.
Will I get to know people?
YES! The CSYO is known throughout the country as one of the friendliest orchestras there are. We also have a mentoring system that helps with integration into the orchestra.
Will I be good enough?
You need to be of a minimum standard (that is indicated on the application form). The auditions are unfortunately competitive. We sometimes find ourselves auditioning say 6 post grade 8 flautists, all of whom would be technically (and musically) suitable, but unfortunately there are only limited places to fill in an orchestra.
What if I can't afford the fees?
All the courses are heavily supported financially by the Friends of the CSYO (the parents support body), however all members are sent a further form which can be completed by parents and sent in to a subcommittee which has money to further support members when there is financial hardship at home.
How can I support csyo?
The best way is to become a patron. Secondly to come to all the concerts and thirdly to email us to let us have constructive ways you feel we can improve the orchestra and its image.
Where can I buy tickets?
There is a page on this website giving all details on ticket sales. |
