DVD Format Preferred

The audition video 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 three 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 label your audition video and media jacket/case with your name, contact information and repertoire selections with the start time for each selection. Audition videos will be returned to the applicant only if an envelope with adequate postage is included with the original application and audition video. Please do not send valuable original footage.
