Auditions
Audition Dates: Boston Civic Symphony welcomes community members and students who are interested in playing with the orchestra. We typically hold auditions once a year in late August or 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 7:00-10:00pm, September through April. There is also a rehearsal on concert Sundays (10:00am-1:00pm).
The first full rehearsal of the 2024-2025 season will be September 16, 2024, 7:00-10:00pm.
Audition material consists of:
- A short solo, preferably from a concerto
- Two or three orchestral excerpts, preferably from our season’s program
- Sight reading
Applicants will be heard by our audition committee, which often consists of the music director/conductor, and other section leaders.
Next Audition Date: Auditions for the 2024-2025 season will be ongoing.
Current Openings: Auditions can be scheduled during the current season if your instrument is noted under the current openings:
- At this time, we are in need of string bass players. We can audition as needed before rehearsals
To Request an Audition: Applicants will be heard by our audition committee, which often consists of the music director/conductor, and other section leaders. To request an audition time, please e-mail the Personnel Manager.
