In the orchestral audition world the competition is fierce, every plane ticket is a gamble, and rejection is heard more often than not. Yet there are still many steadfast musicians who hear a call from within to play in a symphony, and spend years auditioning in attempt to answer it. In today's episode Alaina and Casey interview oboist Natalie Beckenbaugh; a fellow Carnegie Mellon University alum and dear friend who is in the thick of her audition season in life. Natalie talks about moving back to her hometown in Dunwoody, GA. after graduating with her Master in Music in Oboe Performance, her various musical day jobs, what the audition process has been like for her, what she has learned so far, and how long she is willing to pursue this job of a lifetime.
