The audition process consists of three parts:

  1. Completion of the audition application below.

  2. When vacancies are announced, the Auditions Coordinator will reach out to applicants to begin the audition process. A prescreening recording will be required shortly thereafter.

  3. After the prescreening recording is reviewed by the Auditions Committee, select musicians may be invited to a live, in-person audition.

Our typical season runs from early September through June. We rehearse on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at Loyola Academy’s McGrath Family Performing Arts Center and Glenview Park District Park Center.
