We are only accepting online applications this year. We will still accept mailed DVD's, but we prefer links to posted online videoclips. You will still be able to pay the application fee online or mail it in, but the application will not be processed until the application fee is received.

Audition Video Information
The audition video or selection of videoclips should be an accurate representation of your conducting. Ideally, it should include at least three selections of contrasting styles. Each selection should be no longer than five minutes and may be as short as thirty seconds. Please order the selections with the strongest selection first. Selections do not need to start at the beginning of a piece or movement.
It is not mandatory that the applicant conduct a full orchestra - two pianos or string quintet with piano is acceptable. The audition video should be recorded so we see the front of the conductor, ideally from an angle and not straight on.
Clearly title your audition clips or DVD insert with your name, contact information and repertoire selections with the length for each selection. Audition videos will not be returned to the applicant. Please do not send valuable original footage.
