GENERAL INFORMATION

This Course is divided into two sections with two different instructors. Both sections may be filled, or the course may be limited to only one section. 

During the Course, students may perfect pieces of their own choosing, to be indicated in advance on the Application Form.

To be admitted to each section, candidates must pass the required examination and pay the corresponding attendance fee. Payment of the application and examination fee, on the contrary, is required only once, even in cases of duplicate attendance.

ENTRANCE EXAMINATION

The admission exam is by pre-recorded video audition. For this test, candidates must submit the required works for the respective instructor:

Antonio MENESES Course
Candidates must perform a movement of their own choosing from a Concerto or from a Sonata in the cello repertoire, and a Prelude of their own choosing from the Suites of J.S. Bach played by memory.
