Other Audition
Information
This process is not intended to be stressful. Hearing you play will help our artistic director in selecting music, concert seating, teaching the music and organizing rehearsals. There is no plan to eliminate players from participating and there is no expectation for your audition to be played perfectly.
If you plan to play the opening concert your audition is due no later than the end of August, before the season begins. Those who still would like to audition after the end of August may do so and will still be considered for concerts later in the season.
Recorded video auditions, live auditions, resumes and references, and any questions you may have should be sent to Jonathan Lane at: lanejonathan55@gmail.com.
