The Bravura Youth Symphony Orchestra, the Temecula Valley’s premier orchestra, will audition musicians who wish to become members during the orchestra’s first rehearsal of the new year on Monday evening, August 18 from 6 to 8:30 pm, in the Chaparral High School Band Room.

The high school is located at 27215 Nicolas Road in Temecula, CA 92591.

Young musicians ranging in age from middle school through college who play an orchestral instrument from the string, woodwind, brass and percussion sections are eligible to audition. As part of the audition, musicians should be prepared to play scales, sight-read, and play a brief part of a prepared piece to illustrate both their technique and musicianship.

The 60-member orchestra, under the direction of professor Don Marino, has been very active since it began in March, 2011. They have performed as part of the Temecula International Film and Music Festival, participated as part of the tree-lighting festivities at the Callaway Winery, performed at Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm, and many other activities.
