EMF String Fellowship Auditions

I want to clarify the application process for the String Fellowships.

If you are applying for a string fellowship (violin, viola or cello), then you need to print out the Fellowship Application that is on our website and NOT fill out the online application form. You can find the Fellowship Application online at: http://www.easternmusicfestival.org/pdf/2009FellowshipApplication.pdf. We can also mail you a catalog that includes the Fellowship Application if needed.

In addition, Fellowship Applicants can not do a live audition as there is not enough time to hear the complete repertoire list that is required for these awards. You MUST send in a DVD audition instead.

If you have any questions about the process, please contact me Toll-Free at (877) 833-6753 ext. 27.

Apply now for 2009!

Just a reminder that if you apply online by January 1st, we will waive half of the application fee! You do not need to have your audition materials in by then, JUST the application. This is a great way to save yourself (or your parents) a little money!
