REPERTOIRE / REQUIREMENTS

Repertoire for the competition may be solo or ensemble literature (string duos, trios or quartets) chosen from the Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Impressionistic, and/or Contemporary Eras. Applicants may enroll in either the Solo or Ensemble classifications or both.

Repertoire is completely the choice of the applicant, as we want each participant to present the work or works they believe best represent their artistry, just as they would in choosing a recital program. Applicants may offer a single work, or a variety of shorter pieces. A movement of a sonata or suite is also acceptable.

Applicants competing in both the Solo and Ensemble classifications must submit a separate enrollment for each category, and pay the separate enrollment fee for each application.

In the Ensemble category, if the age of the participants does not place them in the same division, the age of the older contestant determines the classification. Ensemble entries would be considered one application, and therefore would require one application form and one payment of the application fee.
