Performers and Auditors

The application deadline is now past for performers. Auditors who wish only to attend all sessions may still send in applications until June 3.

Performers
Performers will perform twice in masterclass, receive a private lesson, attend all masterclasses and participate in all seminars, attend Jim & Viviana's recitals, participate in flute ensemble, and perform in a gala recital at the end of the week. The performer's registration fee is $750.

The number of performers is limited. Performers will be selected on the basis of an audition recording. Those not invited to attend as a performer may be invited to attend as a full-week auditor and perform in flute ensemble.

Auditors
There are several ways you can audit Flute Week:

Those who wish to audit the entire week or audit the whole week and play in flute choir should fill out an application just like the performers (see below), with the fees due no later than June 3, 2008. Those who wish to audit a single session or a single day should simply show up on the day they wish to attend and see the attendant at the door of the class.

Room & Board
Housing is available at the Colburn residences at a cost of $300 for the week. Meals are not included. Participants should plan on spending about $25 a day for their meals. The Colburn School Cafe will be open for the duration of flute week, although the hours of operation have not been finalized as of yet.

The application fee for performers is $20 (non-refundable). Make checks payable to Jaywah Music, Inc.

The application deadline is May 19th. Applications must be received by this date, not postmarked.

Qualified applicants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, so applying early is recommended. If the class becomes full, qualified applications will be placed on a waiting list.

Audition Recording
Include a recording with your application (only CD format will be accepted) of two contrasting, standard flute works that best display your playing. Accompaniment is necessary if the piece includes it, but solo works are also acceptable. In place of one flute work, two contrasting orchestral excerpts may be substituted. The recording should be recent; within the last year at most. Live recordings are acceptable. Non-edited performances are preferred. Please make sure the sound quality represents you accurately.

Also include a brief biography (1-2 paragraphs) with your application describing yourself and your musical accomplishments.

Mail your completed application, audition CD, biography, and application fee to:

Jim Walker's Flute Week

Notification
Applicants will be notified of their status no later than May 26th, however, most will be notified within a month of receipt of their application packet.

Deposit and Fees
