CANCELED: 2020 MUSICIAN AUDITIONS
Out of an abundance of care and concern for the health and safety of our musicians, staff and those musicians interested in auditioning, the GSO has made the difficult, yet responsible decision to cancel the musician auditions scheduled for June 1, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Auditions have been rescheduled for June 1 – 4, 2021 and information regarding our 2021 musician auditions will be posted to this page in March 2021.
