Whoops! I accidentally posted this in Fundamentals before. Lets try it again:
Anyone know if there is going to be a 3rd trumpet audition for the Indianapolis Symphony? Last I heard (which was almost a year ago - I'm out of the loop) they were waiting to hire a new music director. They hired a new director last spring, and still no audition. Is there ever going to be one? |

I'm probably more out of the loop than you are, as I'm pretty far removed from the Indy music scene most recently, but I'll take a stab at it. They hired Venzago as Music Director last April, and I believe, as the website shows, Daniel Gosling is third trumpet. It appends "2002-2003 season" to his name, so I take that to mean he's up for review and then possibly they'll fill the spot.
This very well might be stuff you already knew. Also, take this for what it's worth...I'm often wrong.
Hope this helps,
John
Edit: P.S. To further confuse things, indyorch.org doesn't list any auditions for trumpets.

It will be advertised in the International Musician when it opens up - I heard ruumors of this fall, though.

Pook what the heck kind of info are you looking for. I think people have made things very clear. It sounds like there is a new music director. The position is not open/advertised at this time. It sounds like rumor has it there might be an audition in the fall. It will be posted in the Interantional Musician when the audition comes up. What more do you need to know at this time?
In Peace,
TM

TM,
I think he made it pretty clear what info he wants. He wants MORE! It sounds like you think that anything that is ever to be known about this subject is out in the open, when obviously, it isn't. Especially since Bob White, who apparently would know more, hasn't even responded, and, the people who already responded (including me) have made it pretty clear that we're in the dark about this too. We on TH are hardly the final arbiters of all that goes on in the music world. He's obviously interested, so why discourage the question? There's certainly a lot more to be known about this. If you don't care to know more, then avoid the post. I think you jumped on his back unncecessarily.
John

Easy, folks. I don't check this baby every day, so pardon my delay in posting.
Anyway, Dan Gosling has been the de facto Third Trumpet for the ISO for two seasons now. He is principal of the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra, and was the "first call" sub for a long time before being offered these yearly contracts after the retirement of Paul Hilgeman. He's a first-class player, and does a great job.
The ISO has indeed hired a music director, and will have an audition in the future for Third (according to the union minutes, they've entitled the position "Assistant Principal/Utility Trumpet"). Of course, all auditions will be posted in the IM, on the AF of M website, and on the ISO's website.
Now the speculative part: There are currently several other positions in the symphony that need to be auditioned; among them - 2 bassoon spots, 2nd clarinet, and some string openings. The new music director really gets his post underway this fall, as he had limited availability for this past season and was only in town a few times. They should be able to get a lot of the spots filled this coming season. However, because the situation is good right now with the trumpet section, I have a feeling that audition is not at the top of the priority list. That's just to say that the rumors of the Trumpet audition happening this fall may or may not prove to be true. No one in the orchestra seems to know for sure, either!
Anyhow, keep your eyes peeled. The ISO is a very, very fine group with a base salary of around $70K. This would be an awesome job for the right player.

Whoa!! I didn't mean to upset anyone! I just wanted to see if anyone, especially someone who lives in or near Indianapolis (as I did up until last summer) might have some inside information. Thats all. Sorry if I offended anyone. I guess I need to learn some manners. Thanks to everyone for the info.

Liz,
I should have used more gender-neutral pronouns in my above posts.
My apologies,
John
