Sub-list auditions

Audio excerpts: the exposition of a concerto and two contrasting orchestral excerpts. For Percussion or Timpani, 2 minutes of a solo piece may be substituted for a concerto.

Live round: Play chamber music, (likely duets) with the principal player or an Artistic Committee member. Other Artistic Committee members may be in attendance at this live round.

Probationary period: Newly hired musicians will be subject to a two concert set probationary period. After this period, NOCCO principals report an assessment to the Artistic Committee, resulting in addition to the sub list or not.

No feedback will be provided to applicants.
