New England Philharmonic
Performing the masterpieces of our time.

Auditions

Since its inception, the New England Philharmonic has maintained its unique mission to perform the orchestral works of today's composers along with the standard and lesser-known compositions by the masters of the last 250 years. This all-volunteer orchestra is composed of amateur and professional musicians and students who donate their time and talent to make this mission a success.

The NEP invites all interested musicians to audition. Audition dates, times and location(s) will be announced in August, and listed on this page; please check back periodically. When specific times and dates have been announced, you may then contact auditions@nephilharmonic.org to be assigned a time. Unfortunatley, we are unable to assign time slots until until we have determined when and where auditions will be held.

Audition requirements are two pieces or excerpts of the performer's choice from standard repertoire, one technical and one lyrical, plus some sightreading.

Rehearsals are held on Sunday evenings from 7:15 to 10:00pm at Simmons College, on the Fenway. Rehearsals are already underway. Concert dates for 2007-08 are Saturday October 27, 2007 (Cambridge); Sunday December 9, 2007 (Boston; afternoon concert); Saturday February 23, 2008 (Boston); and Saturday April 26, 2008 (Boston).
