We welcome auditions for the Fall Semester of Orchestra! Any student who plays an orchestral instrument is welcome to audition.  This semester we will be playing the world premiere of a new work by Omar Camps-Kamrin '20, Franz Schubert's "Unfinished" Symphony, and Florence Price's Third Symphony. The string players in the orchestra will also accompany the Swarthmore College Chorus's performance of Ralph Vaughan Williams's Five Mystical Songs, featuring the world-renowned baritone Roderick Williams. 

To audition, please prepare any 3-4 minute excerpt from your repertoire. Play anything that you feel comfortable playing and that will give Prof. Hauze a sense of your current level. Auditions are very low-key and friendly, so while it's very natural to be nervous about auditions, please know that we try to make auditions a very welcoming space. 

Auditions will be held in-person in Lang Music Building during the first week of classes.  A link to sign up for an audition time will be posted later this summer.

Orchestra can be taken for 0.5 credit or 0 credit. We rehearse on Monday nights in Lang Concert Hall from 7-10 pm (though often individual students are called for only a portion of that time). Please email ahauze1@swarthmore.edu with any questions.
