In what way is the Orchestral Excerpts Retreat different from the other Practice Marathon Retreats?
In the Orchestral Excerpts Retreat the emphasis in the workshops is on preparing for an audition. We discuss what the audition committees are listening for in each excerpt, and, each participant performs in two or three mock auditions during the retreat. Therefore, participants whose primary goal is to work toward auditions are accepted. The repertoire covered includes solo audition repertoire as well as excerpts.
