SEMYO 2020-2021 Season Auditions
SEMYO is pleased to announce that auditions for the 2020-2021 season will take place on June 4 and June 8 for new students. Current students will be assigned an audition date and time and need not sign up. Any students who wish to join for the current SEMYO trimester should contact Corey Henke at chenke@semyo.org.
All students are required to audition every year to determine placement in one of four SEMYO ensembles. Because SEMYO offers ensembles for all levels of ability, the acceptance rate is very high.
