HSO Musicians' Information

The instructions and schedules on this page are for Hopkins Symphony Orchestra musicians. We keep this information as up to date as possible. If you have questions, please check with General Manager Edie Stern or Music Director Jed Gaylin at (410) 516-6542 or hso@jhu.edu.

Attendance Policy

You're expected onstage 5 minutes before rehearsal begins, ready to tune at the official start of the rehearsal. 

If you know ahead of time that you’ll have to miss a rehearsal, please mark it in the red notebook on the table during an earlier rehearsal. Make sure that your stand partner or another member of your section has the sheet music and can cover your part.

If you have to miss a rehearsal on short notice or if you expect to be more than a few minutes late for a rehearsal, inform the general manager (410 516-6542 or hso@jhu.edu) and, if possible, your stand partner or section leader.

To be allowed to play a concert, you may miss no more than two rehearsals, and you must attend all rehearsals during concert week (religious conflicts excepted). If you can’t meet these requirements, you may play the concert only with the conductor’s permission.



Inclement Weather Policy

On weekdays: If JHU is closed, HSO doesn’t rehearse. See http://webapps.jhu.edu/emergencynotices/ or call the JHU weather emergency line at 410-516-7781 or 800-548-9004 to find out if the University is closed. HSO will notify musicians of any exceptions.

On weekends: HSO sets its own cancellation policy. Relevant notices will appear on this page and the main HSO page (http://www.jhu.edu/jhso) and will also be available on the HSO office phone line at 410-516-6542.
