AUDITIONS

The New Philharmonia holds auditions annually in the late spring and early fall for openings in all sections. In addition, string auditions are conducted in December and February for interested players.

We are currently scheduling auditions for extra players for the following sections for the 2011-2012 season:

Clarinet
Oboe
Bassoon
All Brass
All Strings
Percussion (except timpani)

Audition requirements include two solo movements of the applicant’s choice, one slow and one fast, as well as a variety of orchestral sight-reading at the discretion of the conductor. There is no advance list of required excerpts.

If you are interested in auditioning for the New Phil please submit a letter of inquiry and resume to info@newphil.org. Auditions will be held by appointment on Friday and Saturday, September 2-3, or by special arrangement between August 30 and September 15. All auditions will take place in T-accessible Newton Centre.
