Greetings! I play viola with SSO (along with a few chamber jam regulars) and the orchestra is looking for someone to play piano/celesta with us this season. Be forewarned - orchestral keyboard is a different animal from chamber music (not to mention solo) piano. You definitely won't be playing the whole time, there will be many rests to count, and you'll have to follow a conductor. But if you're interested, please let me know! You can either respond to this or contact me directly.

I love the idea; however I have very little experience playing with groups, and most pieces I play I compose myself, and do not have much experience quickly learning accompaniment pieces. But I will keep your orchestra in mind if I ever choose to play professionally.

Thank you,

Daniel Wilson
