Take part in a mock audition judged by the Utah Symphony Flute Section!
Participants will receive a time prior to the audition, and will have a private practice room in which to prepare directly before their time slot. A runner will escort the participant from the practice room to the stage, where they will perform the three excerpts below before a blind panel. A personnel manager will be on stage should the participant wish to make a comment or ask a question, as to not disclose their identity. After the panel has heard all participants, winners will be announced at the end of the hour, and the winners will have a chance to speak to the panel.
Winners of this mock audition will get to work Mercedes Smith, Lisa Byrnes, and Caitlyn Valovick Moore in a masterclass during the convention on Saturday, March 15, 2025 at 3pm.
