Did you know that in 2016, Mozart sold more CDs than Beyoncé?

What does that have to do with the SDSYO? Absolutely Nothing.

But now that we have your attention, don't forget to submit your video audition for the 2022-2023 season! The deadline is just TWO WEEKS away!

(Ok, so here is the story, in October 2016, the Universal Music Group released a box set commemorating the 225th anniversary of Mozart's death. Each disc included in the box set counted as one CD sold, and each set contained 200 discs. Throw in the proliferation of streaming—which has significantly dampened CD sales—and there you have it.)

Just because Mozart was the king of procrastination doesn't mean you should be too. Video auditions for the 2022-23 SDSYO season are due in NINETEEN DAYS!
