Ensembles for Experienced Musicians

There’s no need to give up your music, just because you aren’t taking a music degree. Ensemble options for experienced musicians include:

Do I need to audition?

Auditions are required for the Melbourne University Symphony Orchestra, the Big Band, the Chamber Orchestra, and the Chamber Music ensemble.

You can still enrol in these subjects on the basis of the recommended performance standard, but confirmation of enrolment will be conditional on successful audition. Detailed information on audition requirements is available via the Faculty of Music website.

An audition day is held prior to the start of each semester. If you’ve enrolled in an auditioned ensemble, you’ll need to complete an audition application. The Faculty will advise you of your audition time and venue via email. Audition requirements vary, but all auditions will run for 10 minutes and warm-up rooms will be available to you prior your audition time. Audition outcomes will be notified via email before the start of semester.
