Youth Orchestra Recruits for Season B U S I N E S S
Need based financial
aid available
Portland Youth Philharmonic, the nation’s first
and oldest youth orchestra, is accepting online ap-
plications and video auditions from local, young
creatives interested in participating in the organi-
zation’s 97th season. Need-based financial aid is
available to every musician who passes the audition.
The philharmonic’s music director David Hat-
tner says the orchestra has a plan to operate under
COVID-19 restrictions with online learning in the
fall and in-person rehearsals and concerts beginning
in January.
“We are currently in the process of commissioning
new music for our musicians to play,” Hattner said.
“We are asking incredible composers to create new
works specifically designed for remote performance.
In other words, they will be rehearsed from our mu-
sicians’ homes and recorded in parts for assembly.”
He said the new works will be composed primar-
ily by women and musicians of color. Composers
include Efrain Amaya, Laura Brackney, Giancarlo
Castro D’Addona, Darrell Grant, Jessica Meyer, Po-
lina Nazaykinskaya, Jim Stephenson and more.
Interested musicians should visit portlandyouth-
phil.org/audition to first submit an online applica-
tion. Each application requires a $30 non-refundable
fee. Once an application has been submitted, mu-
sicians may start working on their audition videos.
The deadline to submit a video audition is Monday,
Aug. 24 by 5 p.m.
The Portland Youth Philharmonic strongly be-
lieves that great music education should be acces-
sible to every child. In 2019-2020, the orchestra
said 24% of its enrolled musicians received nearly
$43,000 in scholarships, financial aid, sibling dis-
counts and private lesson scholarships.
When a musician passes their audition, they re-
ceive an enrollment packet that includes a financial
aid application form. Learn more about PYP’s tui-
tion fees and tuition assistance at portlandyouthphil.
