Auditions

Interested in joining us?
We are always open to new members of all ages. Auditions can be arranged with the Personnel Manager and Music Director throughout the season.

All musicians wishing to join the orchestra must audition for the Music Director. If you would like to audition, please send your name, instrument, and a short bio of your musical experience to Members@SymphonyPotomac.org. Please prepare 2 pieces of your choice that contrast in style (fast – slow).

Auditions can be arranged during the season as needed, depending on the availability of the Director. We also place names on a substitute list, so if you cannot commit to the full season but would like to be considered as a sub, we would love to hear from you.

• We rehearse on Thursday evenings from September until early June, with some adjustments, so it is important that you consider whether or not you will be able to fully participate in all rehearsals and concerts before joining the orchestra. Please take time now to review the concert and rehearsal schedule.

To schedule your audition or ask questions, send an email to Members@SymphonyPotomac.org.

Please review our COVID policy found at the bottom of the rehearsal schedule and be prepared to submit proof of vaccination or request an exemption.

To help defray expenses, the orchestra charges annual member dues of $100. If this creates a financial burden, please talk with the personnel manager.
