Video Requirements:

• Candidates may upload their audition videos on all major platforms, including but not limited to YouTube, Vimeo, and Tencent.

• The candidate may record individual requirements separately. 

• Please provide the video link on the application, ensuring that you enlist the videos as “unlisted” so that the panel with the link can view these video submissions. 

• The video must be recorded from a single video camera, with the same shot used throughout the entire video. Your full body must be in the shot for the video.

• Some advice for getting the best video possible:

• We strongly recommend you view your recording all the way through before submitting it.

• Record in a quiet space with no background noise present. If you are at home, ensure you are away from appliances that make noise, such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and microwaves.

• Ensure your microphone is not too close to your instrument when playing. 

• If you have to choose between excellent audio and amazing video, opt for the exceptional audio.

Concerto Competition (OPTIONAL)

• The Concerto Competition is open to all full-time participants, but the stages of the competition begin with the application. If you choose to compete in the Concerto Competition, the piece you submit as your solo in the application is your competition piece. The piece must be for full orchestra and must be readily available for purchase or rental. The final repertoire selection will be up to the discretion of the Festival Director. Full details for the concerto competition will be shared upon acceptance to the program. Contact our administration for specific questions about the competition or repertoire selection.

 

Obligations of Participants

• Serious dedication and desire to pursue a holistic musical education are most important for this program. Students selected for the Festival will be expected to enter into a contractual arrangement with the Festival. Students are expected to participate in all two weeks of the program.
