The Fox Valley Academy of Music Performance invites young musicians, ages 7-18, to audition for the Academy’s orchestras for the second session of its 2015-2016 season. The orchestras are principally looking for string and woodwind players. For the auditions, students should prepare scales and a solo or étude. Auditions will be held on Sunday, November 29th (or by appointment) at Eden Supportive Living in North Aurora. For the second session, orchestra rehearsals begin in early January.

The Fox Valley Academy of Music Performance includes the Access to Music program, the Youth Strings Orchestra, the Academy Orchestra, and the adult Philharmonic Orchestra. Ensembles rehearse on Sundays from September through April, and have an additional summer program.
