Green Mountain Chamber Music Festival Audition Requirements and Guidelines for Regular Program

All audition recordings must meet the following criteria:

• Audition recordings must be uploaded to YouTube and be viewable through June 2024. YouTube links must be set to ‘unlisted’, not ‘public’ or ‘private’. You will later enter these links on the application.
• Each applicant must submit audition recordings of two contrasting works representative of their solo playing 
  • recordings with accompaniment are acceptable, although accompaniment is not required
• Applicants may submit one recording containing both works or two separate recordings. Performances must be unedited
• Please ensure applicants' whole instrument is visible in the recording frame.
• Record in a quiet space with no background noise present. If at home, make sure to record away from extraneous noise, such as appliances (refrigerators and air conditioners), or outside noise such as traffic and construction.
• Ensure the microphone is not too close to applicants' instrument when playing. An external microphone is not required for these recordings, but may be useful in capturing the highest quality of sound. 
• Please listen to and watch the recordings all the way through before submitting to ensure acceptable audio and video quality. If you have questions, please email info@gmcmf.org.
• If you have to choose between high quality audio and high quality video, choose high quality audio.
