By  | 

JOSHUA TREE, CA — The Hi-Desert Cultural Center’s Joshua Tree Philharmonic (JPHIL) will be holding auditions for instrumentalists interested in joining and becoming members of this extraordinary orchestra.  Under the direction of renowned Maestro Jarrod Radnich and featuring over 100 musicians, the philharmonic will be performing alongside the Cultural Center’s new Master Chorus in a breathtaking concert series December 12-15, 2019.  This unique concert series will feature epic, large-scale Christmas and holiday music arrangements covering world, contemporary, and classical genres.

Auditions are by appointment only and will be held September 24th beginning at 5:30 pm at the Cultural Center’s new state-of-the-art Yucca Valley Visual & Performing Arts Center located at 58325 CA-62 in Yucca Valley.  Alternate appointment dates may be scheduled upon availability.  Open to all instruments and musicians who demonstrate competency on their instrument, all orchestral parts are expertly created and arranged for each musician in the orchestra.  Individuals interested in auditioning for the philharmonic are required to sign up for a 15 minute time slot and be prepared to play music of their choosing that represents their proficiency.  To schedule an audition or for more information, contact the Cultural Center at info@hidesertculturalcenter.org.

The JPHIL is a multi-session, year-round, inter-generational community orchestra comprised of over 50 musicians from the Morongo Basin, Coachella Valley, Inland Empire, High-Desert/Apple Valley region—and beyond.  Weekly rehearsals take place Monday evenings beginning October 7, 2019, and there are no fees to participate in the orchestra.  All concert proceeds go toward supporting the Cultural Center’s music programs and student scholarships.
