Audition details for Autumn will be available in mid-July.
Auditions for Spring 2024
New string players are eligible to join the Ohio State Symphony Orchestra for spring semester.
Auditions are open to all students enrolled at Ohio State, regardless of major.
Note that formal auditions are not required to join the Campus Orchestra, but seating auditions for placement in the ensemble are required for all participants.
Strings
Auditions for the Ohio State Symphony Orchestra are held once per year, at the start of the academic year.
If you are considering joining the orchestra for the first time in Spring semester, contact Miriam Burns, director of orchestras.
- ATTENTION! For eligible non-major string players only: If you have schedule conflicts with the rehearsals on Wednesdays, you are still strongly encouraged to audition for the Symphony Orchestra. Once you are accepted, please contact Prof. Miriam Burns to discuss an alternative arrangement for the conflict.
Woodwinds, Brass and Percussion
Auditions are conducted in coordination with the auditions for the Ohio State Concert Bands. Audition materials for woodwind and brass instruments will be posted on the Bands Auditions page. Contact Susan Powell for percussion information.
