Auditions at San Francisco Symphony

The auditions page of SFS has provided me with a few tip-offs to upcoming changes in the orchestra, including the retirement of Assistant Concertmaster Mark Volkert a couple of years ago.

SFS has apparently conducted or no longer is accepting applications for the Associate Principal Horn position vacated by Nicole Cash; auditions are upcoming for Associate Principal Second Violin, which is billed as a one-year opening.

There are two new auditions since I last looked:

  • Principal Cello, open owing to the death of longtime principal Michael Grebanier in December
  • Principal Flute. Aaaaaand this means Tim Day is leaving the orchestra after 15 years.
