The Bainbridge Symphony Orchestra is currently holding auditions for all instruments. Violinists and Violists are especially encouraged to apply.

Auditions this year are being held in person at BPA on Sept. 3rd, 6th, & 7th, or by appointment throughout the year.

The Bainbridge Symphony Orchestra (BSO) is a community orchestra based in Bainbridge Island, WA. We rehearse weekly on Wednesday evenings and perform four full-orchestra concerts a year at the newly-renovated Buxton Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Bainbridge Island (walking distance to the Seattle ferry). Our mission is to prepare and present a diverse range of orchestral compositions and to foster a culture of community engagement, friendship, collaboration, and musical excellence.

Anyone wishing to audition should prepare 3-5 minutes of music from a solo piece of your choice (does not have to be memorized), and 1 or 2 short excerpts for your instrument(s) from repertoire we will be performing this season; these excerpts will be provided after you submit the form below. You may also be asked to sight-read a short passage.

Please fill out the form below to submit an audition. After you press submit, you should receive an email within 48 hours confirming your exact audition time and containing any relevant excerpts you should prepare.

If you have any questions, please contact our Music Director Ryan Dakota Farris at rdfarris@bainbridgeperformingarts.org.
