I write this post on the morning of the finals for our latest violin audition. In just two hours, our hall will be filled with the concerti of Mozart, Sibelius, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, and maybe even Beethoven (but probably not Mendelssohn). Hopefully by the end of the day we’ll get a new violinist for the orchestra. I was privileged to listen to roughly half of the 150 preliminary auditions this time, but I will not be part of the final committee.
