Auditions

Members interested in appearing in FMMC’s public concerts must audition.

Auditions for Solo & Chamber singers and instrumentalists (including duo piano and piano accompanist) are scheduled in March each year. Video auditions may be submitted at any time (see below). Auditions for Orchestra string players, Chorale singers, and composers are scheduled upon request and have different requirements.
