Application for Orchestra Musicians

Application Instructions:

Mediterranean Opera Studio and Festival creates a positive learning environment for our musicians wishing to understand more about opera by giving them a reduced-tuition learning opportunity in Italy. MOSF is preparing 2 fully staged operas: La Boheme (Puccini), and Il Barbiere di Siviglia (Rossini), and will also feature Tosca (Puccini) in concert form, and opera scenes/symphonic/chamber concerts in which orchestra musicians will be featured.

Should you apply and be accepted for an orchestra position you must arrive at MOSF having thoroughly studied your part. We will provide music for you upon acceptance into the program.

Please include in the bio section below a reference to  a youtube clip showcasing your skills.  This video need not be of opera.
