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. Many works by 20th & 21st century composers (e.g. Barber, Bartok, Copland, Prokofiev, Ravel, Shostakovich, etc.) are under copyright and we regret to inform you that these works are not able to qualify for our competition due to limitations of orchestra size and performance material availability. Please contact us at ensemble212@gmail.com if you have any questions regarding any works that are not listed below.
