- All participants must be vaccinated against Covid-19. We encourage all those who are eligible to get boosted.
Musicians who would like to be considered for performances with Symphony and/or Camilla Kolchinsky Orchestra should prepare a solo from the standard repertoire with orchestral accompaniment. Works performed at Symphony and Camilla Kolchinsky Orchestra during the current season are not recommended. Please check the Previous Winners tab for this season's pieces before selecting your solo.
