Young Artists Philharmonic

September 14 Audition
2019-09-14 14:00 - 17:00 UTC | First Congregational Church of Greenwich, 108 Sound Beach Ave, Old Greenwich, CT, United States
Membership in the Young Artists Philharmonic provides the serious young music student with a challenging and rewarding orchestral experience. It is important to remember that our auditions should not be thought of as a daunting or stressful occasion. We like to think of it as an evaluation rather than an audition, and look forward to meeting all interested students in a welcoming setting.
Applicants should prepare:

One scale of the applicant’s choice, in as many octaves as possible
One solo piece of the applicant’s choice

Applicants should also expect to do some sight-reading during the audition. Any questions regarding the auditions should be directed to Orchestra Administrator Dr. Jeff Spector at auditions@youngartistsphil.org. Scroll down and Click “Sign Up” in order to submit your information. A YAP representative will contact you shortly with further information.

The Physics of Music
2019-10-17 17:00 - 19:00 | Greenwich Arts Center, 299 Greenwich Ave, Greenwich, CT, 06830, United States
Where do musical pitches come from? What makes something sound in-tune? Why do instruments sound different from one another? Believe it or not, physics can answer these questions — and it’s always in the background during any musical activity. Come to the Greenwich Arts Council on Thursday, October 17th at 5pm for a special event on The Physics of Music hosted by the Young Artists Philharmonic. We’ll be joined by GHS physics teacher Sarah Zeegan for a presentation that reveals a hidden side of the musical world.
