Audition
for the Boston Civic Symphony 2009-10 Season
Audition dates Boston Civic Symphony welcomes community members and students who are interested in playing with the orchestra. We typically hold auditions twice a year, once during the summer and again in late August/early September. During the performance season, individual auditions can be scheduled on a case by case basis, depending on our need.
Rehearsals Boston Civic Symphony rehearsals are normally on Monday evenings from 7–10 pm, September through April. When Monday is a holiday rehearsals are on Tuesday evening instead. There is also a rehearsal on the Saturday afternoon from 2–5 pm on the day before each concert and from 10:00–12 pm on concert days. Rehearsals are held at the Devotion School in Brookline, MA.
Our current openings are Section Violins, Violas, Cellos & Bass.
Audition material consists of:
- a short solo, preferably from a concerto
- two or three orchestral excerpts, preferably from our season’s program
- sightreading
