Yeah not getting why NACO is preferable to Phila unless it's for political reasons

Three people given trials: Ziyao Sun, Theo Bockhorst, & Chaewon Kim

I hear Michael Katz won one of the positions

Jack Farnham and Tiago Linck will play with the orchestra before a decision is made

You are correct We gotta get thru the Phila Orch cello aud (late Sept) before the Chicago cello aud (early/mid Oct)

Michael Katz and Maddy Fayette will play some of the upcoming Fall and Spring seasons to determine who will get the position

David Peel won the position!

Can confirm that.

How many finalists were there?

This is a good explanation Thanks

I'm referring to the CELLO audition only

I hear the final round is scheduled for October despite the earlier round being what was it-- March or April? Anyone know why the ridiculous wait?

Were there 2 openings?

Personnel manager probably has 30 cellists on the sub list

Bravo to Max! Chautauqua is lucky

Claire Kim won the other section position

winner should be announced shortly

Juan Esteban Martinez

Wasn't the Atlanta audition held the same day as Detroit's bassoon audition? (There are systems in place for personnel managers to avoid that happening.) Probably affected the size of the pool of players showing up in Atlanta

trials still ongoing there was some illness that caused rescheduling so it's taking longer than expected
