Could someone who took the initial Cleveland audition (or has been accepted to the upcoming audition) please post the list (or lists if they are different). Thanks.

Doing a search on the current BBS and archives, I have found audition repertoire lists for the following auditions:

Louisville, Met Opera, San Francisco, New Mexico, Seattle, Alabama, Honolulu, Charleston, Dayton, Colorado, Boston, New York, National, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Vermont, Arnold Jacobs ITEC (2 lists), and Chicago Civic (2 lists).

If anyone has a recent list not included here, I would also be interested in seeing those posted.

I would also be happy to share these lists with anyone out there who is interested in having them.

Andy:

Can you please post the Philadelphia list.

Thank you.

This is not recent, but I thought some people want to see this:

REPERTOIRE FOR PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA
PRINCIPAL TUBA AUDITION MARCH 2005

Solo Repertoire

Vaughn Williams Tuba Concerto Mvt. I & II

Excerpts

Adams Short Ride In A Fast Machine

Berlioz Overture to Benvenuto Cellini , op. 23 (Reh. Nos. 16 – 20)
Berlioz Le Roi Lear (King Lear), op. 4 (Reh. Nos. 21 – 24)
Berlioz Hungarian March from “La Damnation de Faustâ€

I don't think it's unreasonable for a top orchestra to expect a potential principal to know all of the important symphonic repertoire... at the very least it's a way of weeding out the less experienced.
