Audition Mode

A chapter closes, but the memories remain. With heartfelt gratitude, we announce that Audition Mode is bidding farewell. For the past 15 years, we've loved every seminar working with all the participants on their journey to become better musicians and horn players. Thank you to everyone who helped us along the way, but especially to Maddy Tarantelli who made our last few years fantastic!

Until next time, we wish you all the best.

Update on 2023 seminar.

Audition Mode 2022 is coming fast, register now while spots are available!

As this will be the first in person seminar since 2019, we have bittersweet news: this will be the final Audition Mode Horn Seminar with Karl Pituch. Any Audition Mode plans after this year’s seminar will be tentative as we figure what the future looks like for us.

Karl and Denise started discussing the idea of Audition Mode in 2007. Karl's incredible career, audition success, humor, and the friendship between he and Denise is what has helped make Audition Mode what it is today. We have all learned from Karl these many years and we wish him well as he continues his work with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. If you’d like to peer into the wonderful world of Karl’s stunning playing, humor, and boots, you still have time to register for his final seminar! If you have any questions about participating at Audition Mode, please reach out to Denise, Karl, or Maddy. See you in June!

Audition Mode | Horn audition workshop

Karl, Denise and Jen after Audition Mode's opening recital. Looking forward to a great week!

Karls Horn of the Week 6-3–19

This week’s DSO concert includes Bela Bartok’s Concerto for Orchestra. Commissioned by Serge Koussevitsky to display the extraordinary talents of his musicians of the Boston Symphony, the piece has been in the standard repertoire ever since its premiere in 1944. The title of the work refers to his treatment of single instruments or instrument groups as soloists. Bartok was inspired by the wealth of folk music of his native country and this piece with its brilliant orchestration, melodic fertility and rhythmic vitality is a twentieth century masterpiece.

Karl will use his Kortesmaki/Hill triple horn for this symphony.

The DSO webcast for this concert will be Sunday, June 9th at 3 pm EDT. https://www.dso.org/live
