Participants selected to advance to the in-person audition round will receive via email the file with the scores of the orchestral solos that they must present. Participants who in the second round achieve a score equal to or greater than 85/100 will make up the list of eligible, who will be summoned for an interview with the Human Talent area. In this interview, the compatibility of the profile of the musician from the list of eligible candidates with the position to be held will be evaluated, understanding that the person who best fits the position will be selected.
The Medellín Philharmonic Orchestra reserves the right to declare the seats deserted. The selected applicant will be linked through a contract to provide services as an Assistant Bassoon Leader starting in February 2023.
