Auditioning for the MASSAPEQUA PHILHARMONIC
Made up of individuals from diverse professional and cultural backgrounds, MPO musicians all share a passion for gathering together weekly during the non-summer months to perform the classical orchestral repertoire. MPO musicians hold themselves to the highest musical standard and play with a commitment and pride rarely found in ensembles whose members perform without compensation.
Admission to the roster is by audition. To reduce burden, MPO has developed an informal videotape audition process. Players who wish to audition should submit a video (a smartphone video is fine!) that features:
2 contrasting solo works of any length (including two different movements from the same work); and
3 orchestral excerpts.
To audition, please supply the information requested below, and include links to videos posted (publicly or privately) on online video sharing services (YouTube, Vimeo, Google), or to cloud storage devices (e.g., DropBox; OneDrive; Google Drive). Video submissions will be reviewed only by the audition committee which includes the conductor and other relevant PACS section leaders.
