The Eastside Symphony will hold its annual Young Soloists competition on Sunday, May 16, with individual audition times to be arranged.

The winner will perform with the symphony in one of its 2010-11 concerts under the direction of Maestro Alexei Girsh. All instrumental performers under the age of 20 are eligible to audition. Contestants should be able to perform a complete concerto or other major solo work with an orchestra.

The entire work need not be performed at the audition, but contestants should be prepared to play portions of each section.

A single piano will be available at the competition. Contestants should arrange for an accompanist if desired.

The auditions will take place at a private residence in Kirkland. To reserve an audition time and get directions to the audition location, e-mail eastsidesymphony@gmail.com.
