NY Times on New World Symphony

It's the day before Audition Day for bass applicants here at Peabody, and I just read a fantastic article about the New World Symphony and about the audition experience, told primarily through the eyes of a bass player auditioning for the Buffalo Philharmonic.  It's definitely worth reading for anyone interested in the audition process today and how it works, as well as how NWS functions.  I'm an alum of New World myself and playing there was a big part of my own process of understanding the audition process.  It's a good read and worth the effort. 

In the meantime, I wish a great audition to all our applicants tomorrow!
