申込方法と参加費

• The official call opens applications from 15 November 2026. Email the 2027 form to musikderjugend@ooe.gv.at by the published date of 31 March 2027, naming it Instrument_Surname_GivenName. The five-minute video is due on the published date of 1 May 2027. The document calls these Tuesday and Friday respectively, although in 2027 they fall on Wednesday and Saturday. Exact cutoff hours are not stated; Austria is on CEST (Europe/Vienna, UTC+2) on both dates. Confirm the intended deadlines with the organizer if submitting near either date.
• Eligibility starts with prima la musica PLUS provincial candidates in groups III+ and IV+ (ages 14–16 and 17–19 respectively as of 31 August 2026) who earn Gold at their 2027 provincial round. The final audition selection also requires first prize / Gold in the 2027 federal competition plus the submitted video. Eligible instruments are flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, horn, trombone, tuba and percussion. No separate WSY entry fee or nationality criterion is stated.
• The PDF asks for name, date of birth, address, mobile and email, prima la musica category/instrument and age group, composer, work title, movements, per-movement and total timing, preferred edition or publisher if applicable, musical training and achievements, orchestral experience, motivation and pianist arrangements. It contains data-processing consent. The checked rules and form do not request a recommendation letter, referee, recording witness, ID copy, photo or separate CV file.

審査の流れと演奏時間

All eligible instruments · select one solo work

• Choose one original work for your solo instrument and orchestra, approximately 15–20 minutes, with forces no larger than 10/8/6/4/3 strings, 2/2/2/2 woodwinds, 2/2/0/0 brass and one timpani part. Incorrect scoring excludes the entry. No specific title is compulsory. For a multi-movement work, Wiener Symphoniker and the performer determine how many movements can be played at the concert. The organizer lists suggestions by instrument, but the page returned 404 during verification.

Video selection · all instruments

• Send a five-minute presentation: approximately one minute explaining your motivation, followed by roughly four minutes from the chosen concert work without accompaniment. Each excerpt must be uncut. The organizer will announce the upload link later. File type, size, camera position, memorization and repeat rules are not published.

Final audition · 16 June 2027

• Keep the full day free for the live audition at Schubert-Saal, Wiener Konzerthaus. On the form indicate whether you need a pianist or will bring your own. The sources do not confirm the exact audition excerpts, time limits, order, repeats, memorization, pianist cost or extra finalist paperwork.

Selected soloists · rehearsals and concert

• At Mozart-Saal, Wiener Konzerthaus, reserve 1 October at 10:00 and 2 October at 10:00 for rehearsals, 2 October at 14:00 for dress rehearsal, and 3 October 2027 at 11:00 for the concert with Wiener Symphoniker. Each soloist performs one selected work with orchestra. The rules give no concert-order, repeat or memorization requirements.
