Did they really not find anyone new, or did they rehire who they had before? Or are they having trials, or is it really as you say "no one"? When I got cut, they had chosen 10 semifinalists. Surely one of those would have been deserving.

All i have heard is that there was no winner chosen. This leads me to assume they simply didn't pick a winner, much like the recent Cleveland audition. They will be filling the position temporarily for the near future.

Michael Wayne, previously 2nd clarinet, has been serving as principal but also recently won the 2nd position in Boston. He will be on leave playing in Boston this next year.

Mr. Wayne won the full time tenure track Principal Clarinet audition last spring and was granted tenure this winter, after serving as Principal Clarinet for one and a half seasons. He will join the Boston Symphony this fall, taking a year leave as Principal Clarinet. Raymond Santos, from the New World Symphony, won the one year, possibly permanent Principal Clarinet audition in Kansas City about 6 weeks ago. The audition at the beginning of this week was for full time, tenure track 2nd/ Eb/ Associate Principal (the spot vacated by Mr. Wayne in his move to Principal). Alucia Scalzo has been playing in that role during the 2007-2008 season.

Robert,
Wasn't Michael Wayne the guy who performed with us in the CC Wind Symphony a few years ago, doing the Messager?

You might be right Ralph...I just remembered a lot of ego to go with that technique. Great fingers, just not a lot of musicality to be found and, frankly, not particuarly personable....just my sense of the situation....
