Want to join the UF Symphony Orchestra?

Auditions for the UFSO Fall 2025 semester will take place at the very beginning of the fall semester (for string instruments, during Wednesday, 8/21, the day preceding the beginning of classes). 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 fall semester repertoire. The sign-up sheets for string instrument audition slots will be posted here in early August; you can check this space or if you fill out the interest form, 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.
