Philharmonic auditions are submitted via video and are due August 14, 2023 by 4:30 p.m. (the Monday prior to the start of the semester). Students should first register for the course (so they receive access to Canvas materials). Should you not make it into the ensemble, you may then drop the course. Please see the audition packet for audition excerpts, information, and video submission link. Audition results will be posted by the first Tuesday of classes. The ³ÉÈ˶¶ÒôÆƽâ°æ Philharmonic Orchestra meets Tuesday/Thursday, 1:40-2:55 p.m. in Greaves Concert Hall. The Philharmonic is directed by Dr. Amy Culligan.
The ³ÉÈ˶¶ÒôÆƽâ°æ Philharmonic Concerto Competition is open to orchestral instrumentalists currently enrolled in the ³ÉÈ˶¶ÒôÆƽâ°æ Philharmonic course OR enrolled in the ³ÉÈ˶¶ÒôÆƽâ°æ Youth Symphony Orchestra. There may be up to a total of four winners total, with 0–3 winners in the college division and 0–2 winners in the Youth Orchestra division.
