Auditions

The Bangor Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1896, and we haven't missed a season since, making BSO the oldest continuously operating community orchestra in the U.S.

Auditions are held every spring and fall, and you can find the dates, times and locations right here, or through local newspapers and radio stations.

Here's what's going on
