Email to Oscar Whight from a European orchestra manager

Oscar had reached the final round of auditions when he received this email. He had complete his master’s degree in Germany under one of the leading trumpet teachers in the world. He has now secured a position as principal trumpet with the Cairo Symphony Orchestra.

Dear Oscar

I’m so sorry, I sent you an invitation last week for the upcoming trumpet audition, but unfortunately I have to inform you that as you are from the UK it will not be possible to participate in the audition after all.

All auditions for all tutti positions (not only Academy) are only for European Union citizens plus Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. At this moment the UK is no longer in the EU and deals are not made yet.

I feel so sorry, but I can’t do anything about this.

I wish you all the best.
