String Bass players wanted for 2026-2027 season!
Love classical music and want to play in a dynamic, welcoming ensemble? The East Metro Symphony Orchestra (EMSO) is seeking passionate string bass players to complete our section for our upcoming season! With over 60 years of making music together, our group is fully staffed across all other instruments—we just need you to anchor our low end. EMSO features a unique musician-led committee that shapes our repertoire and vision, and this year’s exciting lineup includes masterpieces by Beethoven, Copland, Barber, Tchaikovsky, Handel, and Holst across six performances.
We rehearse on Tuesday evenings in North St. Paul, and there are no formal auditions required—just bring your instrument, your talent, and your enthusiasm! If you’re ready to join a storied community tradition and share the stage with a warm, dedicated group of musicians, we would love to have you. Visit us at www.emsorch.org or contact us directly at personnel@emsorch.org to grab a stand!
