In the youtube symphony orchestra this was one of the eligibility requirements: "The Competition is not open to residents of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Myanmar/Burma, Syria, Zimbabwe and any other U.S. sanctioned country". does this mean that if you were BORN in one of them but no longer live there and is a U.s citizen, does that mean you cannot participate, is this the same for different orchestras too?

Your answer is there in your question. It says "residents of", so there is no problem if you no longer live there. However, it looks like submissions ended last year. Employment with a symphony orchestra in the US is subject to the same restrictions as any other employment. Current US citizens are free to be employed by any private organization without any legal restriction. You might have some trouble if you try to join the CIA, or some other sensitive governmental agency that requires an FBI background check.

Residents. The fact that you are U.S. Citizen makes you fully eligible. Denial of employment in US orchestras (or employment with any firm) is one of the sanctions against the countries mentioned.
