Ensemble 212 Young Artist Competition Repertoire List
Young Park, Director, Ensemble 212 Young Artist Competition
Yoon Jae Lee, Artistic Director, Ensemble 212
Important! Please use the specified editions where listed whenever possible!
Repertoire is dependent on two major factors: instrumentation (the size of orchestra) and availability of performance materials (orchestral parts). If a work you wish to perform is not listed, it may be due to either or both factors. Certain works listed below may be performed with reduced woodwind and brass sections but will not effect the overall production of the video. Certain works by 20th & 21st century composers (e.g. Barber, Bartok, Copland, Prokofiev, Ravel, Shostakovich, etc.) are only available through rental from the publisher. If an applicant wishes to perform any such work, they will be responsible for all charges incurred for the rental and performance rights. Please contact us at ensemble212@gmail.com regarding any works that are not listed below.
