Auditions
LDYE is open to all elementary and high school aged string instrument players. All musicians, both new and returning, are required to audition once per year. Auditions are conducted in the spring and the fall, but students wishing to join the ensemble mid-season can request an individual audition.

AUDITIONS FOR THE 2026-2027 SEASON
JUNE 7, 2026
2:00 – 6:00 PM
FOOTHILLS PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
Students ages 6 to 18 years are welcome to join our growing community. We support both a Main orchestra and a Preparatory orchestra to nurture the developing skills of younger musicians. Most of our members take lessons with a private instructor and then rehearse with LDYE one evening a week to prepare for the free, family-friendly public concerts we offer annually. We also host two community recitals each season for students to develop confidence and skills in public performance.

If you cannot attend on June 7th and want to audition, please send an email for information about a limited audition time in early September 2026.
