Our Concerto Competition provides members of KCLSO and students within the KCL Music Department with the opportunity to perform a concerto or showpiece of their choice with a full symphony orchestra; guided by our Musical Director, James Ross. 

 

*APPLICATIONS FOR THE KCLSO CONCERTO COMPETITION ARE NOW CLOSED* 
Deadline for applications is Sunday 12th March 2023.

 

Auditions will be held on Sunday 2nd April 2023 in front of a panel of judges.

​

 Auditionees are required to: 
- Fill out this application form by 12/3/23: https://forms.gle/9BD5Y2ZdcFMEXsSF9
- Please prepare a movement from your chosen concerto, which you consider able to represent the concerto as a whole. This should amount to no more than 15 minutes of playing within your audition – (if your movement exceeds this time limit, we will ask you to stop playing at the time limit.)

- Auditions will be held on Sunday 2nd April, in front of a panel of judges. If you are unable to make this date, please indicate via the form and contact us via email, at kclsymphonyorchestra@gmail.com, and we will endeavour to organise another suitable time to hold your audition.

- Applicants will be considered for the opportunity to perform their concerto with KCLSO as part of a future concert, be that on tour or otherwise.

- If possible, please consider a concerto that works in the context of the orchestra’s size, ideally to effectively incorporate brass and percussion.

-  Bring their own accompanist and (preferably) scores or copies of the piano reduction for the panel.
