The Peterborough Symphony Orchestra (PSO) is holding auditions for area musicians who would like to play with the orchestra during its 50th anniversary season.
PSO Music Director and Conductor Michael Newnham will be auditioning volunteer musicians on Wednesday, September 14, 2016, beginning at 7:30 p.m. The pre-scheduled auditions will take place at Trinity United Church (360 Reid St., Peterborough).
Interested musicians can reserve a timeslot by calling the PSO at 705-742-1992 or emailing info@thepso.org. Musicians will receive further details about what to prepare for the auditions at the time of reservation.
Musicians auditioning for the PSO should be capable of performing at a level equivalent to Royal Conservatory of Music Grade 7, and be available during the performance season to practice their individual part and attend weekly rehearsals with the orchestra during the 2016/17 season from from November 2016 through May 2017.
The PSO, a non-profit charity located in downtown Peterborough at 159 King Street, is comprised of 40 volunteer musicians and professional string section leaders.
For almost 50 years, the orchestra has been a cultural cornerstone of the Peterborough community and has a reputation as one of the finest community-based orchestras in Canada. PSO musicians are the heart of the organization and are essential to its success.
