ANU Orchestra Auditions

Are you an orchestral musician looking to play in the ANU Orchestra in 2023? 

Housed at the ANU School of Music and conducted by Canberra's Max McBride, the Orchestra is a chance to play with the best music students at ANU, as well as professionals from the Canberra Symphony Orchestra.

Orchestra members rehearse Wednesday evenings from 7.00 - 9.00PM in the Big Band Room.

Applications for Semester 1 auditions close COB Friday 3 February 2023. Current members are required to reaudition.

Applicants will only be required to perform the relevant orchestral excerpts at their audition. Applicants are to audition without piano accompaniment. Audition excerpts will be confirmed at the end of January.

Applicants are expected to be available for all times and will not receive an audition time until one week in advance.

Applicants will be able to warm up in the Level 6 Practice Rooms 1 hour prior to their audition time.
