Performers auditioning at the RCM’s overseas audition venues are subject to a two-stage assessment process:
Step 1: applicants submit their application on UCAS Conservatoires and a pre-screening audition video for assessment by the Faculty. Videos must be submitted by the application deadline for your application to be valid.
Step 2: applicants short-listed by the panel are invited to attend a live audition.
If you have already submitted a pre-screening video and you are no longer able to attend a live audition at one of our overseas venues, or if the RCM decides it cannot hold live auditions at your chosen venue, your pre-screening video will be used as your video audition. You will not need to submit another video. Video auditions are assessed on the basis of the video submission and UCAS Conservatoires application; in some instances, applicants may also be asked to participate in an online interview.
Auditions will be held at DiMenna Center for Classical Music, New York.
If you require an accompanist and cannot bring your own the RCM can provide an accompanist for you. You do not normally need to let us know whether you need an accompanist or to provide copies of the music in advance. Please remember to bring a hard copy of the music for the accompanist, digital music is not permitted.
Applicants will automatically be considered for scholarships as well as places. Eligibility for scholarships is based on merit, which is determined by performance at audition. There is no need to submit a separate application.
