Trumpets, violins, and bass, oh my!

On the 5th and 6th of October this year, the Boston Ballet Orchestra is auditioning for a new principal trumpeter, and the Boston Symphony Orchestra is auditioning for two sectional violinists and the assistant principal bassist. The application deadline is already closed, but that’s where our repertoire will come from for our first few rehearsals… There’s a ton of great rep there from which a lot of people can benefit! Let me know if you applied, and I’ll ensure you get plenty of time to run what you’ve prepared. Stay tuned for a finalized repertoire list for our first few rehearsals.
