Concerto accompaniment

If you are playing a sax concerto for your audition what should you plan on using for your accompaniment? Do you bring background piano or orchestral tracks or plan to play it as a solo. (This is for a composition major who needs to audition on her primary instrument but not for a performance major.)

You need to check what each college says in their audition requirements. For our son’s trumpet auditions coming up, most schools say no accompaniment is needed. Some say you can bring someone but not required. Not sure I’ve seen any say to bring a recording (different from our MT daughter a couple years ago who did use a recording a couple times).

You need to check with the schools…for the schools my son auditioned on for violin, they had accompanyists available for sonatas and concertos used in the audition, it may not be the same way with other schools and/or instruments. If the website doesn’t say, an e-mail to the admissions office will get you a response I am sure.
