This concert provides an opportunity for local musicians to perform a musical number of their choosing as part of a small ensemble (solo, duo, trio, quartet, etc.) as part of a larger concert. The symphony is also open to performing one or two large ensemble concerti.
The Solo and Ensemble Concert will take place Saturday, March 19, 7 PM at the Viridian Event Center (West Jordan Library). The Viridian does have a piano available for performance use.
Ensembles that wish to perform should be prepared to audition on Saturday, January 22, 10 AM at West Jordan City Hall (in the Community Room, i.e., where we normally rehearse). Ensemble pieces should be no longer than 10 minutes in duration. Note that ensemble members are expected to prepare for this concert outside of normal rehearsal time. (Example Solo and Ensemble programs from March 2020, and March 2019.)
Soloists wishing to perform a symphony-backed concerto must notify us by e-mail (wjsymphony@gmail.com) with the details of the concerto by Saturday, January 8th. Soloists are responsible for providing the music for the symphony to use for the performance. Concerto soloists will audition on the same day and time as the other small ensembles.
We understand there are only a couple weeks to prepare for the audition, perfection is not expected or required--the audition should convince the panel that the ensemble has a strong enough foundation that, with two months, they will be able to perform in March.
Finally, we would appreciate an RSVP (wjsymphony@gmail.com) if an ensemble knows what they're planning on playing, if possible, so we can allocate enough time for the panel. Walk-ups are welcome, too.
