Audition
Membership in the Lawrence Community Orchestra is comprised of professional, amateur, and student musicians. Musicians are expected to attend all rehearsals and performance(s) for each concert cycle. An honorarium of $75 for section musicians and $150 for principal players is awarded at the end of each concert.
As our musicians are involved with a number of additional performance commitments in the region, the LCO does not have a set rehearsal calendar. Rehearsals are determined by the performance dates and typically involve 5-6 rehearsals per performance.
Auditions for the Lawrence Community Orchestra take place via online video submission by June 1. Musicians are encouraged to submit an audition video by June 1 to be considered for future performance rotations.
Audition videos should include the following:
Two short contrasting excerpts (1-2 minutes each) from the solo or orchestral repertoire best demonstrating your performance skills.
Videos should be made within 2 months of submission and should feature your solo performance – please do not submit videos of ensembles.
Once you have completed your video performance, please convert it into an online link. Video links should be sent in one of two formats:
Unlisted YouTube Video Link (Preferred)
Google Drive Link (View or Edit Mode)
Fill out and submit the following form no later than the June 1 entry deadline. You will be notified no later than 2 weeks following those deadlines of placement into the LCO performance rotation.
