Take note that our auditions have moved a month earlier than they were in 2016.
Audition requirements (the same as in 2016): Play a piece from the Baroque or Classical era, without accompaniment. Play the required scale sheet for your standard of playing- it can be obtained from our website.
Please try to form your own group and rehearse together regularly. Pre-formed groups must audition together, after their individual audition. Auditions cost R100 per individual and R50 extra per person in an ensemble (pre-formed group). Children that do not live in the Gauteng area, may audition on Skype.
Existing groups from the 2017 festival can obtain permission from Johanna Roos not to audition again, if they remain in the same group.
Auditions are held on 15 and 16 September 2017 at Waterkloof NG Church in Dey Street, Pretoria.
Festival Venue: 8-12 January 2018 at Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool, Pretoria, Gauteng.

Every What It Takes course is designed specifically to cater to the needs of the selected participants. Each participant sends in a list of problematic areas that they would like to address and work on with the tutors. The course therefore covers many aspects of professional musicianship including audition preparation, marketing of yourself as a musician, posture/injury prevention, performing with an orchestra, music history related to your instrument, and individual master classes from top professionals. It gives insight into solo, chamber and orchestral playing, as well as teaching and other career options. To receive more information on the project and information on how to apply, please click here for more information - applications close on 29 September 2017.
