There are three conditions that you must fulfill in order to enter the competition:
Repertory: Pre-1800 or Post-1945
The preliminary rounds consist of 15 minute slots, and the judges can ask for any section of your concerto. No more than six finalists will be selected; each will have a maximum of 30 minutes in the final round.
The winner from the previous year may not apply. Performing from memory is preferable, but not required. You must provide your own accompanist.
The conductor of the University Orchestra will screen all applications. The judges will be distinguished members of the Northeastern musical community, and their decision is final.
Deadline for all applications, without exception, is December 13, 2019. You must prepare the entire concerto for the preliminary round. SIGN UP
Any questions should be directed to Michael Pratt.
