The Bloomington Symphony Orchestra (BSO) is made up of highly qualified volunteer (unpaid) musicians who are chosen through a two-step audition process.
The first round is a self-taped video which is submitted online and reviewed by a committee of current players.
The second round is an in-person performance of the same materials for the Music Director and a committee of current players.
