Audition Process for the San Francisco Symphony

A limited number of highly qualified applicants will be invited to these auditions. We can only accept resumes for vacancies with scheduled auditions.  The Audition Committee of the San Francisco Symphony reserves the right to dismiss immediately any candidate not meeting the highest professional standards.

To apply, you may fax, e-mail, or mail your One-Page resume to the contact information provided. Be sure to include the name of the position you are auditioning for (e.g., “Second Trumpet”).  If we require an audition tape, you will be notified.
