The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra is having a private audition for a one-year principal trumpet position. Is this even allowed anymore? They didn’t have any prior auditions, nor was this posted in the union papers.

The discussions here about whether one-year positions make it easier or harder to get a tenured spot are irrelevant. RPO held a 1-year audition because their Principal is taking a 1-year leave. It is not a permanently vacant spot. Orchestras have considerable leeway to run the hiring processes for fixed-term, non-renewable, non tenure-track positions as they see fit.
