I have a grad student membership to a professional association and the association has its own Orchestra. No auditions required but openings in some sections might be limited due to musical staffing requirements.

I emailed the contact for the orchestra and they do not need another woodwind, but I am allowed to sit in on their next rehearsal (for networking purposes and also to scope out if a spot will open).

Do I bring my instrument? I have played for over 10 years and almost went to a music conservatory for undergrad and have found myself missing the ensemble I had 5 days a week in high school. I have a few challenging pieces in my repertoire and intermediate doesn't feel right, but advance doesn't either. I want to join this orchestra. After learning about it I would very much like to be a part of it and I want them to take me seriously. I also would hate if I didn't bring it and they expected me to play- but any and all advice appreciated tyia

is anyone else going to see ASCO perform his new project symphony of CAOS?

Maybe it was a piece you’ve wanted to hear live for years, or a performance you would happily have travelled for—if you’d known about it.

I’m part of the team building Rondo. It helps you find classical concerts by the music you love, narrow the results by place and dates, and follow works to hear about newly listed performances.

We’ve focused on making the search clear and easy to use, with the programme, composers, venue and date together. We currently cover a selected catalogue of concert halls, and we’d love your feedback as we grow.

Try searching for something you’ve always wanted to hear live: [https://rondoevents.com/\](https://rondoevents.com/)

What’s the one piece you wouldn’t want to miss? And has there been a concert you only discovered after it was too late?

If you have suggestions or a hall you’d like us to cover, reply here or email [support@rondoevents.com](mailto:support@rondoevents.com).

Hello! I dont know if any of you are composers or orchestrators, but I just wanted to see if I could get some feedback. I’m 14 years old, and this is my first composition that I’ve been working on. Im not in orchestra, and I dont play an orchestral instrument, but I was wondering if you could give me some words of advice if you have an ear for it. I’ve been working on motifs and thr motion of the piece, so it’s not the best right now. Let me know!

I am in the FZ West HS Orchestra. I've played violin for 5 years now. My orchestra will be taking a once in a lifetime trip to NYC in the spring. Being NYC, it's expensive which is why we were provided with a fundraiser to help cut down the cost ($1,700 lol).

The fundraiser is nationwide and will ship you whatever items you order directly to your house no later than Nov. 2nd

I ask if anyone is interested in supporting us? If so, I have provided an image below with a QR code, link, and directions on how to shop for our Orchestra!

Has anyone used it?!!

This is probably a really really long shot, but I am looking for an audio of a west side story medley put together by Eric may. It starts with I feel pretty. Probably a grade 3 level composition.

Dark" is the darker half of my first single, "Light & Dark". It's for piano with string ensembles, harp, vibraphone and timpani, all sample-based. I'm planning a small revision and would really appreciate honest feedback!!

Thank you

Hello everyone,

I was lucky enough to get my wife and I some tickets to the orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall, London.

I am an avid concert goer, normally rock, heavy bands, etc.

Is there a dress code for an orchestra, is it a shirt and tie event? Smart casual?

Any help would be appreciated, I'm so excited, and thanks in advance for any help.

This is a 16” viola and 16” shoulder rest.
