Fall 2024 Auditions

Fall 2024 auditions will take place in person during orientation week and the first day of the fall semester. All students who haven’t participated in the CCO before are required to audition. Former orchestra members are not required to audition; however, they are welcome to do so if they would like their seating assignment to be reconsidered.

  • Audition materials consist of a short piece of your choice (up to 7 minutes) and excerpts from the repertoire that the orchestra will perform in 2024-25.

  • In-person orchestra auditions are scheduled to take place in room PAC 118 of the Scripps College Performing Arts Center. A map of the building can be found here.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We are aware that the days before the semester begins can be hectic and completely understand that many students may not have the time to adequately practice before their audition. We will certainly take into account the challenging circumstances while listening to each student. The CCO is a welcoming community and the audition process reflects this spirit. Our main goal is to get to know every student and hear them play so we can determine the seating.

If you have questions, please contact Prof. Cubek at dcubek@scrippscollege.edu or dcubek@g.hmc.edu
