Employment to begin in September 2020.
Preliminary Round: Monday, April 27, 2020
Advanced Rounds: Tuesday, April 28, 2020
It is with disappointment that the Sarasota Orchestra must cancel the Principal Harp audition scheduled for April 27 & 28, 2020. It is out of an abundance of caution, especially for those coming from out of town and needing to share instruments, that we feel this is a necessary decision. Any future auditions we hold will be advertised in the International Musician and on our website.
