The JSO will be able to assist with research and finding orchestral arrangements if you are a chosen winner! If we are unable to find one, we will discuss this with you and perhaps a different song will have to be chosen for your performance.
If you choose to perform an original composition or an obscure work that does not have an existing orchestral arrangement, any expenses related to creating an orchestral arrangement will be the responsibility of the contestant. We will provide a list of possible arrangers, but candidates should note that in some cases these costs can exceed $1,000.
