The submission should be uploaded to a cloud storage service of the candidate’s choice (E.G. Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.).

 

A link to the recording can be sent to auditions@southfloridasymphony.org with the subject line “Substitute Audition.” The Personnel Manager will review the video submission to ensure honesty, then the audio only will be sent to the music director to determine placement on the substitute list.

Substitute auditions will be accepted on a continual basis.
