MIT orchestra seeks musicians

Do you play bassoon, horn, trombone, viola, cello, bass, trumpet or oboe/English horn? Dante Anzolini, the new conductor of the the MIT Symphony Orchestra (MITSO), invites students, faculty and staff from the MIT/Wellesley community to audition for MITSO's openings in these instruments. To schedule an audition for late September or early October, contact Matthew Agoglia at x3-2826 or magoglia@mit.edu.

Rehearsals are held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30-10pm in Kresge Auditorium. MITSO's first concert on October 23 will include Stravinsky's Firebird, Villa-Lobos's Uirapuru, Verdi's La Forza del Destino and Nielsen's Concerto for Flute, with student soloist Ole Nielsen, winner of the 1998 MIT Concerto Competition.
