Recorded Auditions:

Please refer to the following guidelines as you prepare and record your audition.

• Recorded auditions must consist of one 10-minute video recorded in one take with no editing permitted. If recordings longer than 10 minutes are submitted, the jury will listen only to the first 10 minutes.
• Selections must be chosen according to the final audition requirements for your instrument as listed above.
• You are encouraged to play a substantial portion of your main solo piece plus two orchestral excerpts, but should exercise your judgment if you wish to include an etude or second piece.
• We would like to hear a range of repertoire with technical and stylistic differences.
• Please pay close attention to the sound quality of your recording so that the jury can accurately assess your playing.
