The Symphony of the Lakes orchestra holds auditions annually in the fall. The SOTL partners with other local classical music programs, Grace College and the Classic Arts Programs, on many concerts and events throughout the year providing musicians with around 5 concert opportunities each year. Instrumentation requirements for each concert varies significantly. Each concert usually has between 1 and 3 rehearsals and 1 or 2 performances. Musicians who accept positions (other than sub) with the SOTL are expected to participate in no less than 2 concerts each year but are encouraged to participate in all 5 cycles as it applies to their instrument. SOTL pre-selects audition materials and will provide the materials when you register to audition.
