"All invited candidates are required to send a $75 audition deposit check by August 19th to secure their audition slot."
At $75/applicant that should fund the chair for two seasons!

Re: Allentown Symphony-Tuba job
So I have no idea how these things work, but it seems odd to me that they want to look at CVs then invite people to audition. I thought it was all about what happens behind the screen, not about how an applicant looks on paper. Are they filtering people who don't have a Masters degree or sooner other triage?
As amateur as they come...I know just enough to be dangerous.

Re: Allentown Symphony-Tuba job
I'd like to think they just want to avoid recent music or HS grads who just want to do something besides cut grass for the rest of this summer.gocsick wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2024 10:09 am So I have no idea how these things work, but it seems odd to me that they want to look at CVs then invite people to audition.

Re: Allentown Symphony-Tuba job
Checks are returned upon arrival to the audition. A process put in place decades ago to discourage no shows. No idea if it really works or not
