Prescreening Recording (Audio or Video):

Applicants should prepare repertoire that will show their playing to the best advantage with the most variety possible both instrumentally and musically. Repertoire should display a broad range of styles, genres, and technical demand, with examples covering the full range of the instrument, and should include the following:

  • (1) four or more varied standard orchestral excerpts
  • (2) three or more varied selections from the solo repertoire. A “selection” is defined as a solo piece, étude, or individual movement of a sonata or concerto

 

Live Audition:

Audition and prescreening repertoire may be the same or different, as long as both programs adhere to these guidelines.
