Auditions for the SSU Symphony Orchestra and Symphonic Wind Ensemble will be held Sunday August 20 (percussion, piano, clarinets, bassoons, flutes, oboes), Monday August 21 (strings), and Tuesday August 22 (saxophones and brass) at the Green Music Center. All students and community members wishing to participate in these ensembles must audition.
The Symphony Orchestra rehearses Mondays and Wednesdays from 4-6pm; the Wind Ensemble rehearses Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-6pm. Please hold both of these rehearsal times open in your schedule until after ensemble placements are made.
Classical Instrumental Music majors at SSU will be placed in one or both ensembles at the discretion of the music directors. Non-majors and community members may choose to audition for either ensemble.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.
Good luck and best wishes,
