Occupation

Normally Auletes has about 50 musicians, but for certain project concerts the orchestra is extended with guest musicians, up till 90 musicians.
New musicians are always welcome. Except wind instruments and percussion players, string bass and harp also suit the occupation of a modern wind orchestra.

Repertoire

The music that Auletes performs is very varied, from classical pieces to film and musical music. But the main focus is on symphonic and original wind music.
