The Sewanee Summer Music Festival (http://www2.sewanee.edu/ssmf) at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, is still seeking applicants for 2 tuba vacancies. The festival dates are June 16-July 22, 2007. Due to the relatively short notice of this announcement, please contact Mark Savage at (931)598-1225 or e-mail him at ssmf@sewanee.edu.
Application materials can be found on the festival's Web site. Financial aid support will be offered to help secure those students who are interested. Students are selected for admission on the basis of background and performance ability. The minimum age is 12 with no maximum age limit; however, the festival gives preference to students who will benefit most from the Sewanee educational experience.
This summer festival combines a five-week program for advanced music students with a professional concert series. SSMF maintains three full symphony orchestras including two student orchestras, the Sewanee Symphony and the Cumberland Orchestra. The Festival Orchestra consists of faculty, staff and invited advanced students. Both student orchestras perform important orchestra repertory weekly.

Hindemith Konzertmusik for Strings and Brass, Op. 50
Dukas Fanfare from "La Peri"
Strauss Don Quixote, Op. 35

Bernstein Orchestral Suite from "West Side Story"
Mussorgsky Night on Bald Mountain
Members of the brass faculty will include the following:
