Want to join the UF Symphony Orchestra?

String auditions for the UFSO Spring 2025 semester will take place at the very beginning of the spring semester (Monday, 1/13, the day class begins). Admission to the ensemble is by audition, but anyone in the UF community – major, minor, or otherwise – may audition! If you are planning to be part of the ensemble please keep Tuesdays and Thursdays, periods 7-8 (1:55-3:50pm), open in your regular schedule.

If you are a string player, please click through to this folder for the excerpts you must prepare.Repertoire for the string auditions consists of orchestral excerpts from the spring semester repertoire. The sign-up sheets for string instrument audition slots will be posted online in early January; if you have filled out the interest form anytime in the last six months, you will be emailed a link to the sign-up sheet directly. 

If you are a non-major wind/brass/percussion player, please email Dr. Lu at lu.tiffany@ufl.edu to make a connection with the appropriate studio faculty to arrange your audition. 

We sincerely look forward to hearing all of you and welcoming you to the UFSO family.
