Auditions
Conservatory auditions are normally held in March, May, and December although we will additionally be conducting them by appointment throughout the year. Our next formal in-person auditions will be held on March 3, 2023—our annual Audition Day—and May 18-24, 2023, with the precise dates for the latter depending on instrument/voice, though video auditions will also be accepted without condition. If sending a video, please follow the submission instructions below carefully. For those wishing to audition in person as well as anyone submitting a video or wishing to arrange an appointment, please complete an online Audition Request Form.
Video Submissions
Please submit your audition videos via our Audition Request Form. Links can be shared in the Audition Submission box designated for this purpose as instructed. Upload links from YouTube only. Make sure the videos can be viewed by:
- Ensuring that they are visible.
- Selecting "Made for kids" when you are rendering the video.
In the description, include your name, voice part or instrument, degree program, previous education, titles and composers of repertoire. Multiple links are acceptable.
For those who would usually audition with an accompanist, you may perform a cappella or with a track. Vocalists MUST perform with accompaniment! (A prerecorded accompaniment track is acceptable.)
Placement exams will be waived due to the pandemic.
We thank you for your understanding in this matter and we apologize for any inconvenience.
Video Audition Submissions
- Applicants' videos must meet all audition requirements for their instrument. Consult those requirements via the links below.
- Applicants should submit one link to youtube.com that contains the necessary audition repertoire, though multiple links are acceptable.
- Each video should be labeled with the applicant's name, degree program, and title/composer of the audition repertoire.
