This program gives high school instrumentalists an opportunity to perform side-by-side with musicians from the Lansing Symphony! Students participate in an audition process and, if chosen, receive the opportunity to partake in the rehearsal and performance of selections from The Nutcracker at our Holiday Pops concert. Students will gain an invaluable experience being part of a professional orchestra.
The application process for the 2024 Side-by-Side Student Orchestra is open. Auditions will be on November 7, 2024. Audition time and location will be emailed by Friday, November 1 at 5:00 PM.
Please prepare these pieces in their entirety. As we approach the audition, specific audition passages will be passed along to all applicants.
