Principal Horn

The Abilene Philharmonic is a part-time per-service orchestra that is proud to employ some of the best musicians in the state of Texas. The concert season consists of four Masterworks Concerts, three Pops Concerts, and one set of Student Concerts.

The order of auditions will be randomly determined. Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your audition time to check in back stage of the Abilene Convention Center (1100 N 6th St, Abilene, TX 79601). Backstage door is located on the Northeast corner of the building by the loading dock. Those who do not check in may forfeit their time and deposit. You will be given a private practice space 5-10 minutes prior to your audition. Audition times will be sent to each candidate the week of the audition.

Abilene Philharmonic auditions consist of two rounds. The first round is screened, and the committee will be unable to view the candidate. Candidates are asked to refrain from speaking during the first round. Candidates who advance to the second round will be visible by the committee, and the committee will be able to review the candidates’ resume.
