Colorado Music Festival: Principal Cello and Assistant Principal Cello, permanent summer positions

The Colorado Music Festival presents a six-week summer concert season at the historic Chautauqua Auditorium in Boulder, Colorado. Under the baton of esteemed Music Director Peter Oundjian, our all-star orchestra — representing 44 “home orchestras” from around the world — gathers at the base of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains every summer to perform exceptional music with renowned soloists and conductors.

The Colorado Music Festival runs from the last week of June through the first weekend of August. Programming features two orchestra concert series per week, the Robert Mann Chamber Music series, a Family Concert, a week dedicated to the “Music of Today,” and more. The Festival invites distinguished composers and guest musicians to collaborate every summer.

We are a per service orchestra and provide housing and a travel stipend. Of course, one of the main draws for our musicians is the chance to spend their summers in Boulder, enjoying the hiking, dining, culture, and more!

We ask that you have three years’ minimum of professional performance experience before applying. There is a five-week minimum commitment per summer. Please send your resume by December 6 to auditions@comusic.org. Video auditions will be due December 22, 2021. We have open positions for Principal Cello, Assistant Principal Cello and Section Violin.
