Thank you for your interest in the Mobile Symphony Youth Orchestra. We are happy that you are considering auditioning for this highly skilled youth orchestra. If you are selected for this ensemble, you will have the opportunity to rehearse and perform the very best of the orchestral repertoire with other artists from across the Gulf Coast.

Audition dates for the 23-24 season will be August 10, 11, 12, 2023. Excerpts are posted below. To schedule an audition please call Ben Harper, 251-432-2010. If you cannot audition on the date assigned for your instrument, we will try to schedule you on one of the other audition days. Audition guidelines can be found below.

This year the Mobile Symphony Youth Orchestra will be hosting free audition clinics to help students prepare. Click here for dates and times: MSYO Audition Clinics Info
