Pre-screening/video round

Please link both of your application videos to your muvac profile before April 30, 2025 (application deadline).
The two required music videos must be produced without any audio or video retouching and must be recorded from start to finish without cuts and/or splices. The selection process of the video pre-sreening round will take place anonymously. Therefore, there must be no identification in the videos themselves or in the file names that suggests the name of the participant.

The videos must contain the following:

  1) First movement from the Concerto for Clarinet (arr. for viola) and Orchestra in A major, KV 622 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
(alternative version in G major is also permitted)
   and

2) A piece of the competitors’ choice for viola solo or viola and piano written and published after 1985.
For longer works, a reduction to individual movements is possible in order to stay within the 25-minute limit for this round.

* Maximum length of the videos in total – 25 minutes * 

All participants will be informed of their invitation to the live rounds by May 28, 2025. A confirmation of participation must then be sent along with the repertoire information for the live rounds by June 11th via www.muvac.com.
