Audition - Curtis Institute

Voice Audition Information

Voice (BM)

Voice applicants must be at least 18 years old as of September 1 of the year of acceptance. All applicants in Voice are required to submit a screening recording with application materials by Wednesday, December 12, 2018.

Screening Repertoire

The three repertoire selections for the screening should include accompaniment and should show contrast in musical styles and tempos. Please make certain the recording is of good quality, as the granting of a live audition will depend upon this. Applicants will be notified of decisions regarding live auditions by mid-January.

Live Audition Repertoire

- Singers who audition live will be asked to perform up to four selections from memory, showing the character and quality of voice and 

  musicianship:

- One selection in English (not a translation)

• - Three selections from the standard oratorio repertoire, German lieder, classic Italian songs, or French and English songs of any 
•   period
• - An aria from an opera or oratorio is welcome but not required

- Though an accompanist is provided, voice applicants may supply their own accompanist if they prefer. A short test of musical theory and 

   sight-singing may be asked of the applicants in the final round of auditions.
