...or I'm having a senior moment with technology.
Their website has a link to the application portal, but I cannot find the repertoire list. Audition day is ~5 weeks out, application closes in two weeks.
Anyone know what the rep is? I'm getting antsy.
I’m new to auditioning. Can I choose what Mozart edition I use for an orchestral audition? The orchestra has a random Mozart in G exposition in the packet; however, I feel like that edition is not historically accurate in the use of articulation. Would it be okay if I were to use a different edition of the exposition in the recoding auditions and/or the real audition?
It's absolutely fine to discard the provided part for concertos. For excerpts, you'll want to use what's provided, unless it contains obvious errata.
Hi all, any Americans who have made the move or leap to the European countries that love muvac, how has your experience been? I find muvac to be kind of cold and removed, which I honestly like for an audition, but this “removed” quality includes having very little actual info on the posting. They lack things like a link to most of the orchestra’s websites, as a lot of the orchestras with job postings on muvac don’t have any information available on their own site regarding the audition, or an email to ask questions such as if they even except an American with an odd visa but not citizenship.. Is this intentional to keep people not close in location and relationship to these orchestras and academies out?
Lots of auditions for the Grant Park orchestra went up yesterday! Does anyone know what the lodging situation is for out of towners? Do they have something that they offer? Is there a stipend to help cover expenses? Donor homestays?
I think your real question is whether or not an out-of-town musician's earned $ will cover summer living expenses and still leave enough $ leftover to be worth one's time. It really all depends on how lucky you get with finding affordable housing (or how connected you are in finding affordable housing), what you consider baseline as livable accommodations & in some cases a tolerable commute, and how much is enough net $. I've known musicians who want out after their first year because they think they lived wretchedly, but they think they still didn't make enough $ to make it worth their time. Others have been going back for decades because they always seemed to score affordable, safe, and livable housing that isn't too far from Millennium Park. For some, making a lot of $ isn't as important to them because they simply want a good summer music festival experience (which it is). It all depends . . . .

Probably the list is still being talked about by the committee or something...have you reached out to their personnel manager? Or is it possible that info on list release date was communicated in a followup email after application? I'd be antsy too lol.
