Most of the woodwind places are already full, but applications are still welcome from strings, horns, trumpets, tenor and bass trombone, percussionists, a grade 8+ clarinet for the Symphony Orchestra, and a grade 5-7 oboe for the Sinfonietta, as well as singers for the choral course especially tenors and basses.
