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 New England Philharmonic will hold auditions in early
September. Details will be posted on this page as soon as
arrangements have been finalized.
