Must be paid by credit card or debit card at the time of your online application. Video Audition Required: Must be submitted via YouTube URL at the time of your online application. A panel of judges will watch all videos submitted. Please see below for specific video requirements. Eligibility: Young instrumental musicians, ages 13-‐‑18, who have reached their 13th birthday but have not yet reached their 19th birthday by January 3, 2016 are eligible, with the exception of vocalists. Vocalists, ages 18-‐‑25, who have reached their 18th birthday but have not yet reached their 26th birthday before January 3, 2016, are eligible. Students must have a permanent residence inside the United States, but citizenship is not required. Four Categories: 1) Brass/Woodwind/Marimba, 2) String, 3) Piano, 4) Voice Complete list of instruments invited to participate: Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass, Guitar, Piano, Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, Saxophone, Trumpet, French Horn, Trombone, Tuba, Harp, Percussion (Marimba only), Solo Voice Audition Pieces: Each application must choose from a list of preselected solo repertoire for his/her instrument. Student musicians must submit videos of performances with keyboard accompaniment on piano (non-‐‑electric) or with orchestra. Please see the end of this document for complete list of pre-‐‑selected repertoire. *Applicants may include more than one movement of a concerto in one video submission, provided that the combined total length of the movements is less than 15 minutes. Submitting more than one movement is NOT required. Applicants who wish to submit selections from different concerti must complete a separate application for each piece, with the exception of vocalists, who must submit two contrasting solo works within a single application. The total length of your movement or combined
movements – including all cuts and tutti passages – must be under 18 minutes for the finals in Charleston and the Grand Prize Concert. Video Requirements: Audition videos must be a minimum of 6 minutes, and a maximum of 15 minutes in length. Although submissions longer than 15 minutes will be accepted, judges will only listen to and score 15 minutes of your selection. Vocal audition videos should consist of two shorter selections totaling no less than 6 minutes and no more than 15 minutes. Vocalists must submit two separate videos, one for each piece chosen from the required repertoire. Video submissions that – in total – are shorter than the minimum 6-‐‑minute time limit will be automatically disqualified. Videos must have been recorded within the last year, after January 3, 2015. Video footage submitted must be continuous and unedited with a stationary camera angle. The selection submitted in your audition video must be the same piece you will perform if selected for the finals. Memorization is not required for the audition video, finals, or Grand Prize round. We strongly suggest that your selection be recorded at the highest quality possible and that you view it BEFORE submitting it to us. Poor recording quality (e.g. background noise, echo, out of tune piano) detracts from the adjudicators’ ability to appreciate and score your performance. If you have any questions concerning your selection, format, or performance, please email us for clarification before preparing your video. Technical difficulties are not the responsibility of the CSO. Finals: There will be 4 divisions of the competition: 1) Winds/Brass/Percussion, 2) Strings, 3) Piano, and 4) Voice. Three applicants from each division will be invited to Charleston for the finals round. Applicants will be notified of their advancement to the finals by January 15, 2016. Finalists are required to have a parent accompany them to the finals if they are under 18 years of age. The twelve finalists will perform their audition piece during a semi-‐‑open, judged recital on Tuesday, April 12, 2016. This recital may be broadcast to the public through video streaming. Applicants may bring their own accompanist or use the CSO-‐‑provided professional accompanist. Should you choose to use the CSO'ʹs accompanist, there will be a flat fee of $100 paid directly to the accompanist on or before the final round. This fee includes 30 minutes of rehearsal and the finals performance. Should you desire extra rehearsal time with the accompanist, you are required to pay him/her at their requested rate. This year’s accompanist is a nationally renowned collaborative pianist, Inara Zandmane. *There will be three finalists and one winner from each division, provided that minimum requirements are met. One finalist from each division will be selected to perform their concerto in a public concert with the CSO. In the event that a sufficient number of qualified applicants is not met or if there is an unexpectedly high number of qualified applicants from one division, the NYAC judges reserve the right to alter the number of finalists in each category and to reconfigure the distribution of advancement to the Grand Prize Round. Grand Prize Round: Grand Prize Finalists will rehearse with the CSO as follows: Wednesday, April 13, 2016, from 1:00-‐‑3:30 PM Thursday, April 14, 2016, from 10:00 AM-‐‑ 12:30 PM Gaillard Performance Hall The Finals concert will take place Thursday, April 14, 2016, at 7:30pm at the Gaillard Performance Hall. Selection of prize winners will be announced at the conclusion of the concert. Grand Prize Round competitors will receive typed copies of the judges'ʹ evaluation forms approximately two weeks after the finals. Additionally, cuts may be necessary in the Grand Prize Round performance with the CSO to allow equitable time for all finalists to perform.
Prizes: Grand Prize: $2,500 First Prize for each of the 4 categories: $1,000 Grand Prize winners of previous years are not eligible to compete in future years. Any or all of the prizes will be awarded at the discretion of the judges. Grand Prize total is $2,500, including division First Prize. Other Benefits:
