Music
As the COVID-19 pandemic progresses, and as we observe how it has impacted our applicants from around the world, we have made the decision to require recorded auditions, rather than in-person auditions. For the most part, prescreening requirements remain the same. However, we are modifying our audition processes by major in order to provide faculty with the best means to assess applicants.
This webpage will be updated as we confirm recorded auditions and related details, including accompanist options. The individual webpages under Application Requirements will contain more details about repertoire, recordings, and any other requirements or follow-up live Zoom rounds. Please check those pages frequently, and watch for “NEW” to indicate that a section has been updated.
If you are in our database as a prospect, or if you have already started an application for fall 2021, we will send you communications via email. To add yourself to our database, please fill out this form.
