Eastern Region Solo & Small Ensemble MPA

Durham School of the Arts – Durham

Riverside High School – Durham
Saturday, November 14, 2026

This year, I am excited to announce that we will have two separate sites and days for Solo & Ensemble! I am hopeful that we will increase participation by offering two different locations and days of the week.

By encouraging your students to start the year with chamber music, you create a solid musical foundation for your students and encourage strong leadership skills within your ensembles. It is also a great opportunity for soloists auditioning for Eastern Region Orchestra to get feedback on the audition solo. The Eastern Region Solo and Small Ensemble MPA is a venue for well-rehearsed students to receive comments from experienced adjudicators.

Please submit an application for each solo or ensemble. Fees are noted within this form. Deadline for postmarked applications is Friday, October 16. Please send the fees and application by the stated deadline to ensure that your students are eligible to participate. Late applications are not guaranteed a performance time.
