PROVIDING THE RECORDINGS FOR THE APPLICATION
Please provide only links to YouTube videos.
Which/how many pieces are required for the masterclass selection?
Repertoire is a free choice. However, recordings submitted should demonstrate a high level of ability and must be unedited live videos. The quality of the recording device used is not a deciding factor.
About the video upload:
The videos can be uploaded to YouTube for free and set to "unlisted" (please do not set it to "private" because otherwise, the videos can only be seen by you). Thus, the videos are not publicly visible but only through the links that we get from you. Of course, you can also send links to public videos. In the application form, please enter the link to the videos.
If you have any questions about the videos, please get in touch with us to youngartists@vancouverchambermusic.com
