INTERESTED IN JOINING CASCADE YOUTH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA’S 

2025-2026 REGULAR SEASON?

CYSO offers a continuum of performance ensemble levels through its regular season program (Sept. - May).

Cascade Overture Strings (Beginning level)

Cascade Sinfonette Orchestra

Cascade Premiere Orchestra

Cascade Camerata Orchestra

Cascade Junior Symphony

Cascade Youth Symphony (Advanced Level)

Participation in our regular season program is via an audition/placement process (Note: Cascade Overture Strings does not require an audition process). 

Auditions are held in the beginning of September of each year.  Students interested in auditioning are encouraged to begin preparing early. 

Below is a list of the audition requirements for each orchestra instrument. 

Our on-line registration for auditions will be opened on this page in late spring.

Note:  All members of CYSO’ regular season program must be enrolled and participating in their school music program. 

 CYSO SCHOOL MUSIC PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENT CYSO’s POLICY: 

 All current/active CYSO members must be enrolled and participating in their school music program on their respective CYSO instrument (e.g. a violinist in CYSO must be in their school orchestra or string program; a trumpet player in CYSO must be in their school band). NOTE: If your school does not have an instrumental music program (Band, Orchestra) OR does not have a program at your student’s grade level, this policy requirement will not apply. 

For your audition you should be prepared to play the following:

• One major and one melodic scale (2-3 octaves) in any key you choose
• A 3-5 minutes solo of your choice (no accompanist) 
• Sight reading (material will be provided for you at the audition)

Please feel free to contact Lianne Kono at lianne@cyso.us or (206) 417-5677 if you have questions about our audition registration process.
