Audition Panel Sample Clauses
Audition Panel. A panel will be chosen by the Section Principal and/or Concertmaster in consultation with the OV Artistic Director in accordance with Item 5 of Schedule 2 (the “Audition Panel”). With the exception of the OV Artistic Director, Artistic Committee Representative, Concertmaster, Deputy Concertmaster and Associate Concertmaster, all Audition Panel members must be a Contract or Permanent Musician. There must be a Musicians’ Representative present at all auditions for Contract Musician positions. If a vacancy occurs and the OV Artistic Director feels there is a lack of expertise within the orchestra, an expert musician of the instrument in question will be engaged. The expert is in an advisory capacity on the panel and does not participate in the Vote. Subject to consensus from the Audition Panel in advance, Permanent or Contract Musicians may sit in on the first round of an audition only. Observers cannot participate in the Vote and must leave the room during any panel discussions. Observers must not interact with panel members or candidates. Where a Musician is required to participate on an Audition Panel, it will be counted for the purposes of their Cyclical Call Count in accordance with clause 33 save that: • if a Musician is scheduled to attend only one Audition Panel call on a single day, that call may be up to four (4) hours in duration and count as one non-playing call (without overtime penalties); and • if a Musician is scheduled to attend two Audition Panel calls on a single day, one of those Audition Panel calls may be up to four (4) hours in duration and count as one non-playing call (without overtime penalties) provided that the total duration of both Audition Panel calls does not exceed six (6) hours.
