WHERE: Woolworth 104 and 105
round one: solo audition (blind auditions)

WHEN: September 12th and 13th, 12 - 4 pm
WHERE: Woolworth 106
round two: ensemble audition
WHAT: Candidates will be given an excerpt to prepare from a selected chamber music piece. Each candidate will run through and then rehearse the excerpt with current Opus members. Following some rehearsal, the group will run the excerpt again.
