The next conductor of the Lexington Philharmonic is ... one of these people. Catch their tryouts.

Talk about your demanding job interviews: The Lexington Philharmonic’s upcoming fall and winter season will feature tryouts by six conductor finalists.

Director Scott Terrell announced last fall that he would be leaving after the season, which concludes with the sold-out finale, “Star Wars: A New Hope” in Concert on May 18.

The Lexington Philharmonic expects to announce the next music director and conductor in the summer of 2020.

The six candidates each will spend a week in Lexington, beginning in September, meeting the musicians before leading them in an audition performance, complete with guest musicians. The audience will have a chance to give feedback on each conductor as well.

The season’s performances will pair hallmark works of the classical canon with work by female composers, including a work by composer Julia Perry, born in Lexington’s East End neighborhood.

Season subscriptions, which also may include one of two holiday concerts, “A Cathedral Christmas” and “New Years Eve: Mardi Gras in New Orleans,” are available for $85-$430. Individual concert tickets for $25-$85 go on sale July 1.
