Conservatory Auditions

An audition is required of applicants who plan to pursue any of our degree options with a major in music, and applicants who would like to be considered for an Ensemble Award.

On-campus auditions are required of all students who live within 350 miles of campus. For Fall 2009 admission, on-campus auditions are:

January 24*
January 31
February 21*
February 28


* Music education workshops are offered on these dates.

Applicants who live within 350 miles of a regional audition site are expected to audition at that site or on campus. 2009 regional auditions are:

Portland, Ore. - January 6
Seattle - January 7
Denver - January 9
Washington D.C.- January 12
New York - January 13
Boston - January 15
Interlochen, Mich - February 2
Atlanta - February 4
Houston - February 5
Phoenix - February 10
Los Angeles - February 11
San Francisco - February 13


If distance prevents a live audition, either on campus or at a regional site, an audio or video recording may be submitted. Audition recordings should be of the best possible sound quality and must be properly labeled with name, instrument/voice part, and repertoire. Students should also submit a signed statement that the performance is by the applicant.
