Award and Eligibility

The Doreen B. Hertzog Competition winner will perform one movement of a concerto or aria with the Orchestra of the Southern Finger Lakes in the 2010-2011 season. Students in grades 9 thru 12 are eligible to audition. Eligible instruments are piano, strings, brass, woodwinds, percussion, and voice. The application deadline is Friday, May 7, 2010.

Auditions

Contestants will perform (from memory) one movement from a concerto or an aria on May 16, 2010. For more information on this, please contact the office: (607) 936-2873. The maximum length of the movement is ten minutes; movements of longer duration must be cut. Auditions will be scheduled in 12-minute timeslots, which will be assigned in advance. It is highly recommended, though not required, that each student bring his or her own piano accompanist. An accompanist will not be provided to the auditioner. The auditions are very competitive. Only one student will be selected to perform with the Orchestra of the Southern Finger Lakes and the judges may, at their discretion, decide not to select a winner. The runners-up will be asked to perform in a future Musicians’ Choice concert. The decision of the judges is final.

Auditions will be held May 16, 2010 at the First United Methodist Church in Horseheads, NY. Specific audition times will be announced at a later date by mail and online.
