The Icicle Creek Youth Symphony’s mentor program was established in 2013 to provide an opportunity for upper level high school and college students to develop their coaching, teaching and encouragement skills in the youth symphony setting. Leadership responsibilities and duties include assisting in leading sectionals, playing chamber music as needed for events, interacting with the coaches and directors in maintaining a high level of performance expectations, helping with music distribution and rehearsal setups, and maintaining a professional level of attendance and reliability.

Audition with a major and minor scale, and two pieces of contrasting tempo that showcase your ability. Mentors will receive a scholarship to cover tuition and must complete the online registration.

Please email Annie Chalmers to arrange an audition: annie@icicle.org
