Mark your envelope "SFS Masterclass Application"
Guidelines:
Applicants must be current SFS members, and submit a cassette tape or CD that contains their unedited performance of the solo repertoire they intend to perform. If the work includes piano accompaniment, the audition recording must also include accompaniment.
Editing includes, but is not limited to:
stopping or cutting the recording at any time during the solo, even for cuts.
enhancing or equalizing the recording in any way.
Do not identify the tape or CD in any way - no labels and no speaking. To ensure impartial judging, each tape will be marked and coded upon receipt.
There is no application fee, but a participant fee of $75 (in place of an admission fee) will be collected for those selected to perform.
Participants may only be selected to perform in one masterclass per season.
Please, no mail that requires the receiver’s signature.
Please include, on a separate sheet of paper (typed):
complete title (including movements) of your selection
composer’s information (full name and dates) for your selection
your contact information (phone, address, email)
a brief personal biography of 500 characters or less
accompanist’s name and biography of 500 characters or less
