Join Our Ensemble
We invite strong, collaborative musicians interested in video game, anime, and film repertoire.
GG Orchestra welcomes advanced and professional-level musicians who are excited to perform video game, anime, film, and contemporary multimedia repertoire in a collaborative ensemble setting.
Our members bring strong experience in orchestral, chamber, studio, and other ensemble environments. We welcome musicians with strong ensemble experience, professional preparation standards, and a collaborative spirit.
Because our programs often include new arrangements, premieres, and fast-paced repertoire, musicians should be comfortable sight-reading and learning music quickly.
We welcome performers of all instruments, with particular interest in:
Strings
Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass
Woodwinds
Flute/Piccolo, Oboe/English Horn, Clarinet/Bass Clarinet, Bassoon/Contrabassoon
Brass
French Horn, Trumpet, Trombone/Bass Trombone, Tuba
Percussion
General Percussion, Timpani
Keyboard
Celesta/Keyboard
World Instruments
All welcome
We are also recruiting Composers, Arrangers, Orchestrators, and Copyists (Music Preparation).
All prospective musicians should submit the Musician Interest Form to be considered for auditions, roster placement, substitute opportunities, or project-based invitations.
After reviewing submissions, GG Orchestra may contact selected applicants for additional materials, recordings, auditions, or rehearsal trials, depending on current instrumentation and season needs.
For audition-related questions, please contact:
Please note that email inquiries are welcome, but the Musician Interest Form is the required first step for audition consideration.
