Additional Requirements and/or Comments:
Spring 2014 Auditions are intended for NEW players only (UNLESS you are a violinist trying for the concertmaster chair, which is currently vacant--details below*; otherwise, if you were a member of the Fall 2013 Orchestra and do not wish to become the concertmaster, you do NOT have to re-audition).
There are no specific requirements for the audition; a very informal, meet-and-greet type of event. Play what you like.
*ORCHESTRA CONCERTMASTER candidates (audition required): pelase, prepare two short contrasting orchestral excerpts (from our fall program, or anything from standard orchestral literature), and expect a brief sight-reading assignment.
Please, follow the link below to sign-up online. Indicate your INSTRUMENT, next to your name.
