All musicians audition to perform with the orchestra, which is composed of a combination of volunteers and professionals, all classically trained. Throughout its history, the DSO’s mission has been to foster the appreciation of music through the production of high-quality music for and by the residents of Durham and surrounding communities.

The Durham Symphony is holding auditions for section players and sub positions on September 11, 2010 from 1-5 PM at the Durham Arts Council.  Auditions consist of:

1. Solo of your choice – generally about 3-5 minutes of music. No accompaniment is needed.
2. Orchestral Excerpts — will be provided upon registering for an audition time.
3. Sight-reading

Contact Dave Babcock at dbabc1@nc.rr.com to schedule an audition time and receive information on selected excerpts.
