Darn, Ian, I thought you were going to talk about the soloist prep, practice, performance, charisma, audience play, etc.

Very excellent points. I will share this information with my students as I ready them for college.

I think it was Jay Friedman that said orchestral auditions are all about solo work but the job is about ensemble playing. (Or something like that)?

Such excellent "statements" you said in this video. Thank you for create this and talk in a very open and honest way, about these topics!

It seems to me that many of the observations here can also be applied to a wide range of other artistic pursuits. For example, the focus on technique over musicality applies to other fields as well. Also, the observation that decisions about juries say as much about the jurors as the competitors. Of course there is also the subjective matter of taste and the general expectations of the panel.

Please keep it up. This is fantastic. I have felt this way for years. I have decided not to audition for american orchestras anymore. After hearing top level trombone players in major american orchestras; they don't love music and play in a boring careful technical way. Further, there is no joy or excitement in their playing. I suspect a major reason many American Orchestras are going bankrupt is because the audiences are bored. Why leave my house and pay a bunch of money to hear technically perfect but boring playing when I can stay at home and hear Bernstein conduct Chicago from 1965 with a good IPA? That said, the jazz players and players from other genres are not only nicer folks to hang out with, they love music and are not afraid to miss a note because they are really trying to say something and move the audience. When people ask, I always say, I am a musician. Many of these less than inspiring trombone players consider themselves trombonists.

Even Chicago Symphony players talk about how American Orchestras are going for a less exciting sound. I also notice how things sound mellower these days, which is a shame because I just got a small mouthpiece to increase the brilliance in my playing :). Anyways, I gotta go practice before I can convince anyone to accept something more exciting.
