CBOI Galway Pilot Programme

The CBOI has had a number of applications from young musicians in the West of Ireland. We feel that it is too great a commitment to ask you to travel to Dundalk every week for rehearsals and have decided to introduce new arrangements on a pilot basis for members travelling from the West.

ARRANGEMENTS:

1.      An audition will be held with the CBOI Director and Conductor in Galway on SATURDAY 23RD JULY in the Carlton Hotel, Galway (formerly Days Inn Hotel).  The purpose of the audition is only to determine your level of playing - access is guaranteed to all applicants. You should prepare 32 bars of any piece of music for your audition.
 
2.      All applicants should have some orchestral or ensemble playing experience.  If not, please be prepared to comment on your desire to join the CBOI during your audition.
 
	3.	You must attend the CBOI Summer Workshop (15th – 18th August) and one rehearsal per month in Dundalk between September and January (rehearsal weekend date to be specified by CBOI).  This will be co-ordinated on behalf of CBOI by Fiona Buckley, Tawnagh West, Co. Galway (0863467245) and group travel (e.g. car pools) to Dundalk will be encouraged where possible.
 
4.      As there is a large volume of music to be learned, it is recommended that you work on the music by yourself and with your teacher between rehearsals in Dundalk.
 
5.      A follow-up audition will take place in December/January to ensure that you have practiced the music to the level required by the CBOI Director and Conductor.  The results of the audition will determine your place in the Orchestra for the February concerts. It is envisaged that everybody will secure their place.
 
	6.	You must participate in all rehearsals and concerts in February, and all concert tours.
 
	7.	All other regulations regarding performances apply.
 
If you wish to participate in the CBOI Galway Pilot Programme please contact Fiona Buckley, Tawnagh West, Co. Galway (0863467245) or Email [email-masked] by FRIDAY 15TH JULY
