The AOBO (Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra) audition is on Monday 2nd April.

Will post the result when the audition is over.

Word on the street is that Peter Wish-Wilson from the Adelaide Symphony is going to retire?

Cameron, Anyone, can you confirm?

I think the first round for the AOBO job was Friday, and the final round(s) is on Monday.

I haven't spoken to Whish for a while so I don't know what his situation is. I suspect that it's wishful thinking by people who'd love another opportunity to get a playing job.
It was almost like blood in the water a while back

- there were all sorts of rumours of both Whish and I resigning.

Good luck for Monday everyone!

This just in through the grapevine,

From the first round candidates for the AOBO,

Brendan Lukin and Matt Walmsley have advanced to the second round.

Good luck to both of them! They both deserve the job!

Further news from the AOBO audition.

Two candidates were advanced, but apparently noone was appointed. Another audition will be held in 6 months.

Disappointing outcome for everyone.

Only 1 advanced to the 3rd round, Matthew Walmsley. He won the audition but was not appointed to the job.

See you at the next one boys!
