Opportunities

The Orchestral Fellowship employs up to five string musicians from a national audition for up to two full seasons, as members of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra via participation in all applicable services and performances. Participating fellows perform in the CSO’s Masterworks Series, Pops Series, Education & Community Engagement Programs, in addition to engagement with members of the Charleston Symphony Youth Orchestra.

All fellows are compensated according to the standard CSO per-service scale, in addition to travel compensation and per diem. Charleston-area residence is not required. Housing is provided to fellows residing outside of Charleston during service and concert weeks. Please see the PDF of the season overview that outlines our Masterworks and Pops series performances. There will be additional dates added for enrichment workshops and mock auditions and more service opportunities throughout the season. Fellows must be present for approximately 70% of the concert series offered.
