Although our annual Open Call for all instruments has ended (July 15), we are still accepting auditions for the above instruments; decisions will be made on a rolling basis. If you do not play one of the instruments listed above, please Contact Us and we will let you know when we have an opening on your instrument. Our Open Call for all instruments will occur each year, June 1 - July 15.

To audition, please send your audition recording, attached as a file or a link to a file, as described below, to auditions@nashvillephilharmonic.org.

In the subject line, please include the heading NPO Audition along with your instrument. For example: NPO Audition: Cello.

In the body of your email, please include the following:

• Your name, address, email address, phone number

• Your instrument

• A brief summary of your musical training

• A video audition as described below. The video may be sent as an mp4 attachment (Gmail or WeTransfer) or as a link (YouTube, Vimeo, or Dropbox)

Your audition video should contain**:

• Helpful videography angle and distance such that your technique is clearly visible (for example, embouchures, hand positions, etc. unobstructed by music stands)

• Your current playing. Namely, please make the video specifically for this audition. While you can feel free to do multiple takes for each selection, please ensure the takes themselves are unedited.

• Two scales of your choice covering a reasonable range of your instrument: one scale played slowly, the other scale played at fastest accurate speed

• Two to four minutes total of a solo, etude, concerto, or excerpts–or portions thereof–that showcase your musical ability

**NOTE: For percussionists, although we do not currently have open positions, please contact us if you are interested but have questions about what should be included in the audition video.
