Prelims are today. Not sure if anyone is scheduled in the coming hours, but I do know there are blocks in the afternoon.

The first round was released yesterday to candidates auditioning today.

*LA Phil has asked auditioning musicians to keep their audition status anonymous for purposes of fairness*, and as it's an ongoing audition, I think we should respect that.

Yes, there are musicians auto-advanced.

Good luck to all!

This is what I heard:

Cristina Cutts, Mason Soria, Chloe Higgins, and Steve Curtis were advanced from the prelims

Doug Tornquist, Aubrey Foard, Alan Baer, JaTik Clark and John DiCesare were auto-advanced to the semis

Chloe Higgins, Aubrey Foard, Alan Baer and Mason Soria were advanced to the finals and played with the trombone section

The finalists were qualified by the audition committee and the Music Director chose the winner

Congrats to Mason!
