Auditioning for Membership

General auditions for the 2008-2009 concert season will be held in late August and early September.

To schedule an audition for an open position, please contact Elizabeth Rowland, MWS Auditions Coordinator, by e-mail at auditions@mws-boston.org or by phone at (617) 983-1370.

After an audition, you may be selected for either regular membership in the MWS or as a call player.

Membership Openings

Regular membership seats in the MWS are based on standard concert band instrumentation. We currently have openings for the following instruments:

• string bass
• percussion
• harp
• piano

Call Player List

The Metropolitan Wind Symphony maintains a roster of call players for all instruments. These players are invited to fill in when regular members are not available. This could be for a rehearsal, a series of rehearsals, a dress rehearsal and concert, or an entire concert cycle, depending on the need.

Call players are an important part of the MWS community and many call players have later joined as regular members as openings occurred. We invite you to audition to become a call member.
