First round  

The audition consists of two rounds. For the first round, the candidate needs to record 2 videos that contain:  

  • Video 1: A short introduction of him/herself in English: talk about your musical experiences, your motivation to study music, your main subject and why you choose to audition at Conservatorium Maastricht.  

  • Video 2: In the second video, the candidate demonstrates his/her artistic and technical skills. The video should be recorded in one take, without cuts or any edits.  The candidate should start by speaking their name and student number of Conservatorium Maastricht. The video should contain the following:  

Recital pieces  
Perform three recital pieces of contrasting character. You can select movements of different pieces. Only the first movement of one of the Mozart Concerti (G or D) is obliged. The rest of the program is free choice. We list here some pieces to indicate the level. The candidate is free to choose repertoire of similar level:  

  • J.S. Bach: Sonata 

  • H. Dutilleux: Sonatine 

  • Fr. Martin: Ballade  

  • C. Nielsen: Concerto   

  • S. Prokofiev: Sonata  

Orchestral repertoire  

Perform two excerpts chosen from the orchestra repertoire  

 

Additional videos (not required): the candidate may provide concert video registrations.  

The videos should be uploaded to an online platform such as YouTube.com or Vimeo.com. It is the candidate’s responsibility to make sure that the video links work.  

Second round   

The committee may decide to invite the candidate for an online or in-person live audition after reviewing the video material. The repertoire for the live audition remains the same. Additional repertoire requests can be made by the committee.  

In the second round, the candidate is always invited to an online interview with one of the Master Project Coaches. In this interview we discuss the candidate's motivation and experience in the field of research and cultural entrepreneurship. The Master Project Coach furthermore determines the level of English proficiency.
