Are you interested in joining Orchestra Next for the 2022-23 season?  

Fellowship Program

ON Fellows are students and emerging professionals, at various stages of experience. They are musicians who need to get a foot in the door with the profession and are looking for an orchestral experience that is at a professional level and fun. The Fellowship Program is competitive and requires an audition. As in more typical years, Orchestra Next will be accepting roughly 35 orchestral musicians for the season.

Covid Vaccination Requirement

Last season, all members of the orchestra were required to provide proof of vaccination in order to participate. ON’s policy for the 22-23 season will be developed as we get closer to our first show with the Ballet (December).

What will Fellows be involved with over the season?

• Fellows will participate in Orchestra Next’s 22/23 Season which includes:
  • The Nutcracker (Tchaikovsky) in December with Eugene Ballet at the Hult Center
  • Petrushka (Stravinsky) with Eugene Ballet in February
  • Little Mermaid (featuring music by Claude Debussy) with Eugene Ballet in May
  • And more! Check this link for all tentative dates: http://www.orchestranext.com/22-23-season/
• Fellows will also be ready to go for productions that come up for ON! 
• And Fellows will be paid an honorarium for their work as they were in prior years (~$60 a service)
