Applying to AUDITION for SODELO

Open positions and substitute positions are filled by audition.

 

Although we may not currently be looking for your instrument, we are always adding to our substitute list.

 

The first step to playing with us in any capacity is to send a video screening audition through this FORM. The requirements for the video are included at the top of the form. Generally speaking, a video audition consists of solo(s) of your choice and, in most cases, assigned scales.

 

Your video audition will be reviewed. If accepted, you will be invited to an in-person audition for open positions, or added to our substitute list for non-open positions (no in-person audition).

 

In-person auditions consist of assigned excerpts (see below).

 

Further questions about auditioning may be sent to the Personnel Manager at dmoschmann@hotmail.com.
