Eliminatórias e duração

Video preselection · concerto plus 10–15 min solo

• Concerto: memorize and record movement I with orchestra or piano reduction. If the work has no movements, record the first ten minutes, or the complete piece if shorter. This fixes the concerto for both subsequent live concerto performances.
• Solo: 10–15 min from any unaccompanied violin repertoire, one or more works or movements. Live Round 2 may reuse it or use other repertoire. Individual unedited movements can be separate files; short recordings may be submitted separately or combined.

Round 1 · 17 June · complete concerto with piano

• Perform the complete concerto or equivalent violin-and-orchestra work chosen at application, in piano reduction. Bring a pianist or request the US$300 staff pianist upon acceptance, including a one-hour rehearsal.

Round 2 · 18 June · 20 min unaccompanied

• Play the full submitted unaccompanied recital without interruption. Any single multi-movement work, individual movements or a collection of pieces is allowed.

Round 3 · 22 June · complete concerto with orchestra

• Play the same complete concerto as Round 1 with the Dallas Chamber Symphony. Rehearsals 21–22 June. There is no instrumentation limit.

Repertório

• Memorize all repertoire. Repeats are discretionary within recital time. Self-composed and self-arranged works are excluded. Organizer pages conflict on the check-in date, listing both 15 June and 16 June; use the invitation for the definitive time.
