Take a look at Musicalchairs.info. Bookmark it. It links you to the orchestra page and the info for the audition. I check it on a daily basis, hoping to know as soon as something worthwhile for me is posted so I can start working towards it ASAP.

Audition is May 17.

Here's the info:

*Solo

Work of candidate’s choice.
