audition news (sort of)

by Charles Noble on March 12, 2009 · 3 comments

The last three days have been taken up for nine of my colleagues in listening to auditions for the assistant principal cello position in the OSO.  I believe that there were something like 50 or so applicants that showed up for the preliminary auditions.  Someone has been offered the position, but I cannot reveal their name officially until they have signed a contract, but I believe that it’s a hire that is a big win for the orchestra.  We’ll also be holding auditions for English Horn/Utility Oboe in May April.

Good news for the OSO! Can’t wait to see who it is. FYI, the oboe/EH audition is scheduled for May, not April (at least according to the Int’l Musician).

You really get off on auditioning people, don’t you?

Not so much … but I do enjoy hiring great people, though!
