We are accepting applications to join Opus 99 on an ONGOING BASIS for Spring of 2024. All students who audition for Opus 99 will be accepted!
Our 2-hour rehearsals will be on Saturday from 10am-noon starting in the Spring of 2024 for all violin, viola, cello, and bass players in grades 3-12 who have had at least one year of playing experience. Exceptions will be made for students younger than grade 3 with a letter of recommendation from a private lesson instructor.

Auditions determine orchestral placement. We will do our best to place you based on your age and playing level. In our first year, we had two orchestras. We hope to be able to add more orchestras as more students sign up to join our program.
Audition Requirements
​We will not hold live auditions. We are only accepting video auditions. The preferred method of submitting your audition recordings is as an unlisted YouTube link in your application. However, if you encounter technical difficulties with youtube, feel free to email us your audition video. View instructions on how to make an unlisted YouTube video. We encourage you to make a video with the best sound quality available to you. However, a phone video recording is acceptable.
