ORCHESTRA SEEKS PLAYERS

    The Southern Tier Symphony has announced auditions to be held on Saturday, August 23, 2008 in Olean.  The specific need is for string players, double reeds, and trombones, who would be new to the orchestra.  The audition will be held at 10:00 a.m. at the First Presbyterian Church at 212 N. Laurens Street (corner of Second Street).

    Wind applicants should come prepared to play two works of contrasting style.  Those musicians who play violin, viola, cello or bass will be asked to prepare a work, preferably a concerto movement, of their own choosing.  Also, a particular excerpt will be provided for each stringed instrument and will be mailed in advance.  All applicants will also perform a brief sight-reading example.  Those string players who plan to audition should call personnel manager, Tina Skolnik at 716 372-0955 to obtain the excerpt.

    Next fall, the orchestra will begin its sixth season and pays a modest per-service fee to each member of the group.  There are currently 16 services per season preparing for three concert programs.

    The initial concerts this season, held at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford and Olean High School, will be in early October.  Programs for the three concerts are listed on the orchestra web site: <southerntiersymphony.org>.  Any additional questions may be addressed to John Whitney at 716-372-1110
