PERCUSSION & TIMPANI (Optional)

Percussionists are encouraged to audition on both percussion and timpani for the 2022 OAcademy.
With every country having their own COVID-19 protocols, please bear in mind that you should
guarantee access to these instruments ahead of time in order to participate fully in what OAcademy
will have to offer. If you would like to audition only for percussion you may do so and not include the
timpani excerpts. There will not be a separate timpani audition this year.

Invitamos a los percusionistas a aplicar a la OAcademy 2022 tanto para la audición de percusión como
de timpani. Dado que cada país tiene sus propios protocolos COVID-19, tenga en cuenta que deberá
garantizar el acceso a los instrumentos con anticipación para participar de manera exitosa en todas las
actividades que la OAcademy ofrecerá. Si desea hacer una audición solo para percusión, puede hacerlo sin
incluir los extractos de timpani. Este año no se realizará audición separada para timpani.
