The YSO seeks violinists who demonstrate consistent musical excellence, strong ensemble skills, and a commitment to fostering a positive working environment.

 

Winning candidates of titled positions (Assistant Concertmaster and Assistant Principal Second Violin) should be prepared to lead their sections when needed. This includes collaborating with the librarian and string principals on bowings, providing musical leadership, and setting a tone of professionalism and collegiality. All musicians are expected to bring reliability, professionalism, and a dedication to high artistic standards in both rehearsal and performance.

 

YSO is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. We strongly encourage applications from musicians of all backgrounds, as we believe that diversity and inclusion are essential to the future of classical music and seek to reflect those values in our organization. We are committed to equitable audition practices and maintain a screened audition process throughout all rounds.
