Manassas Symphony Orchestra needs principal oboe player

Manassas Symphony Orchestra will be holding auditions for Principal Oboe. Those interested in auditioning should email the MSO Personnel Manager ( .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)) as soon as possible to reserve an audition time. 

Musicians who also want to audition on English Horn (optional) are welcome.  The details of the audition and links to required excerpts can be found on the orchestra website: http://www.manassassymphony.org.

Qualified candidates will have some experience playing in a symphony orchestra, some familiarity with standard orchestral repertoire, acceptable sight-reading skills, and the availability to attend scheduled rehearsals and concerts for the season.  The audition will also include a brief interview with the music director, highlighting the experience and commitment level of the musician. 

The MSO is a high-quality, full-size, all-volunteer community-service orchestra. The symphony was recognized as one of ten national semi-finalists in 2010 and a finalist in 2013 for the American Prize for Community Orchestras.

All members donate their time and considerable talent, so these are non-paying positions. The symphony performs its subscription series in the beautiful Merchant Hall at the Hylton Performing Arts Center.
These positions are open to all interested adults, college students, and exceptionally well-qualified high school students Grade 10 and above.

College credit is available through NVCC. Tuition costs are provided as a scholarship from the Orchestra’s Board of Directors. This appointment may continue into future seasons upon agreement of the music director and player.

The 2014-15 concert schedule is as follows:
• Sunday, August 24, 2014 - 3:00 (Harris Pavilion)
• Saturday, October 25, 2014 - 7:30
• Saturday, December 6, 2014 - 4:30
• Saturday, March 7, 2015 - 7:30
