Auditions

Edgewood Symphony is holding its annual open auditions for all instruments on Sunday afternoon August 11 at First Presbyterian Church of Edgewood, 120 E. Swissvale Ave., Pittsburgh 15218.

The audition lasts about 15 minutes, and will involve playing several required short orchestral excerpts, as well as a short (2-3 min.) piece or excerpt of your choosing.  The audition jury consists of our Music Director Walter Morales, Concertmaster Justin Gaffur, and several section principals.

While we encourage careful practice and preparation beforehand, this is a community orchestra  and flawless playing is not expected. Memorization is not expected. Just do your best and know that you will be playing for fellow musicians who are excited for you to have a great audition.

To receive an audition application, and the required orchestral excerpts, please contact us at auditions@edgewoodsymphony.org  or leave a voice message at 412-207-2472.

Deadline for applications is Sunday July 28.  You will be contacted shortly after with your scheduled audition time/slot.
