Upcoming Openings: 2026 Fall
2026 Fall auditions have ended.
Our 2026 Fall Musician Auditions will be held in January.
Sign up here to receive updates for auditions in the coming season!
Audition Details
Please prepare a solo work or two solo works of your choice totaling approximately 5-7 minutes. This could be a part of a concerto, sonata, or a solo passage from a major orchestral work. Two contrasting excerpts are preferred (can be from the same work as long as they differ in tempi, mood, etc.), but not required. No scales, no sight-reading, no accompaniment and no memorization are required!
For in-person auditions, make sure to arrive at least 10 minutes before your scheduled audition time and check in at the MSO table in front of Music Building room G20. There will be a warm-up room reserved for auditionees, but feel free to sign up for your own practice room in the music building. To find room G20, follow signs down the stairs to the practice rooms.
MSO holds auditions at beginning of each semester. Auditions are open to all classical musicians in the Harvard community. Once accepted, returning players do not have to re-audition.
We rehearse every Sunday 7-9:30 pm in Paine Hall, and hold one concert each semester. Additionally, we perform in the Harvard Arts Festival every spring.
If you have any questions about the orchestra or the audition process, please email mozartsocietyorchestra@gmail.com.
