Opportunity for young classical musicians

The next annual Young Soloist concert of the Symphony Orchestra of Sri Lanka (SOSL) will be held in July 2014. Many of the top level Sri Lankan musicians operating both nationally and internationally, have had their first solo performance with an orchestra at these Young Soloists concerts. The concerts in addition to setting standards for young musicians to aspire to, provide a platform for emerging outstanding talent to be showcased before a discerning musical audience.

Talented musicians under 30 may apply to take part in the competitive auditions which will be held in March 2014, to select soloists. Singers may also apply to perform a program of around 15 minutes consisting of selections from the standard repertoire for voice and orchestra. The closing date for applications is December 31. Further details could be obtained from the SOSL website.
