What do I need to join the orchestra?

• Have several years of experience playing;
• Orchestral experience is preferred but not required.

The Burlington Symphony Orchestra currently is looking for violin, viola, cello and double bass players for the 2019-20 season. Contact the Personnel Manager for details.

So I meet the above criteria. What’s next?

• Contact the Personnel Manager by email at personnel@burlingtonsymphony.ca to set up an audition.

What is involved in the audition?

• The audition is very informal;
• It requires performing a piece of your choice;
• The conductor will be looking for pitch, rhythm, musicality and ability to follow instruction.
