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.
