How can young musicians be considered for From the Top?
* Complete all portions of the appropriate application, available for download at fromthetop.org. * Composers should submit copies of scores for at least two works * Create an audition recording of your current repertoire according to the requirements found below in the section titled, “What should I include on my recording”. We prefer recordings of recent live performances or that are created specifically for From the Top and that have not been edited or enhanced. The audition recording must be a DVD (preferred), CD or VHS. Audition recordings will not be returned. MIDI recordings are permitted for composers. * Clearly mark both your DVD/CD/VHS and its CASE with your name / ensemble name, instrument(s), composition titles and length (minutes and seconds), city/state of residence, and month/year of submission. Please DO NOT apply stick-on labels to DVDs or CDs as these labels often cause recordings to jam in our equipment. Please DO use a marker to write the information on the DVD/CD/V
