One post-1975 and preferably as contemporary as you wish.

Please make certain that the works you bring are different:

For these auditions, concertos and operatic extracts are not suitable.

Nor, for practical reasons, are works with recorded music and electronics.

The audition will last between 10 and 15 minutes.

We do not need to know in advance which pieces you will perform.

But we rely on you to provide contrast as detailed above.

If so, separate applications are necessary.
