Danish National Symphony Orchestra

Here's what I heard back:

That with the tuba position surprises me. Last thing I know was, that all positions we held auditions for at the end of June, were actually filled. I left the day after the last audition. That's when we got off for the summer. So it would really surprise me if that position was posted again. Since we haven't played since then. That must almost be a mistake.
I guess I can listen around when I'm back next week, but really everybody is on vacation so that might be hard...
We are starting again in the middle of August, nothing happens until then anyway...

According to their website Christian Bay plays tuba in the orchestra.
Research tells me that he graduated from the Copenhagen Conservatory a few years ago. A local talent, it seems.

Sorry to dig this back up, but I'm curious of what the situation might be with DRSO these days. I see they've posted another audition. Does anyone know why they haven't settled on a tubist? Any insider scoops?

Just want to say congratulations to Thomas Røisland on winning the position with the Danish Radio Symphony. He is most recently the tubist of the Norwegian Radio Symphony.

I was also able to audition this past week in Copenhagen, and i have to say, I think it might be a very good idea for young North American tubists to find a way to study for 6 months to a year in a conservatory in Denmark, Sweden, or Norway, where most of the candidates live. The level of competition in the audition, as i heard it this week, was extraordinarily high, and a vast majority of the players i heard and got to hear and speak with had a very graceful concept of sound.
