won the audition


Explanation:
I agree with the sense of patinba's answer, but maybe it might be more precise to call this kind of competitive examination an audition, in a musical context?
How about something like
"In 1932, he won the audition for the post of conductor of the Bilbao Municipal Orchestra"?
or
"In 1932, he won the audition to become conductor of the Bilbao Municipal Orchestra"?

Example sentence(s):
  • Ken-David Masur first attracted international attention in 2007 when he *won the audition* of the San Antonio Symphony Orchestra and became its resident conductor with the 2007/2008 season.
  • Olsen tried again for the assistant principal position in Chicago....That time, he won the audition, landing one of the most prestigious, highest-paying jobs in the world of classical music.
