Youth Symphony of DuPage (YSDP) welcomes new and returning musicians (advanced grade school through high school) to audition for our Sinfonietta Strings, Philharmonia Strings, Concert Orchestra, and Symphony Orchestra. YSDP is dedicated to bringing advanced ensemble training and performance opportunities to talented young musicians from DuPage County and the surrounding Chicagoland area. Auditions are open to all musicians, with special consideration for talented wind, brass, and percussion musicians.
YSDP rehearsals are held weekly on Thursdays, starting on September 4, at the College of DuPage's Mac Center, with a series of three public Concerts per performance season. The ensemble also performs concerts in Wentz Concert Hall in Naperville, Illinois. There will be a season kick-off orientation on Friday, August 22.
