Acceptance Information

Performers are college students of all levels (BM, MM, DMA) focused on professional development. Serious high school students looking to pursue a career in music, as well as serious amateurs, are also encouraged to apply as Performers.
We welcome applicants who are less experienced to apply for the Young Performer program. If you are not accepted as a Performer, then you will be automatically considered for the Young Performers, space permitting.
