- BACH VOCAL COMPETITION
-
- _Musica Sacra_ [New York City], directed by Richard Westenburg,
- announces its seventh Bach Vocal Competition.
- FIRST PRIZE is an appearance in Musica Sacra's 1993-1994 season,
- for which a $600 fee will be paid to the winning singer. Second
- prize is a cash award of $200. There are no age restrictions.
- There is a $25.00 entry fee.
- The competition is in two phases: 1) a submission of application
- and taped materials. 2) a live audition of finalists in New York.
-
- STEP ONE:
-
- To apply, submit a brief letter of application, including your
- training and experience. Include one brief letter of recommendation
- if you wish. Enclose a cassette tape recording containing three
- contrasting Late Baroque arias, including at least one by
- J.S. Bach. (Recitatives related to these arias may be included if
- desired.) Selections should be sung in the original language, if
- possible. List on the tape label the names of the works and
- composers, the larger work from which each piece is taken (if
- any), the collaborators (pianist, conductor, orchestra, etc.),
- basic details if the tape is from a live publicperformance, and
- your name, address and telephone number. Enclose a check for
- $25.00 (entry fee) made payable to Musica Sacra.
- Mail all materials to Musica Sacra -- Bach Vocal Competition,
- 165 West 86th Street, New York, NY 10024. If you wish to have
- tapes returned to you, enclose a self-addressed, stamped mailer.
- DEADLINE: Application materials are due January 15, 1993.
-
- STEP TWO:
-
- Finalists will be notified by February 16, 1993 and live final
- auditions will be held on March 10, 1993 at CAMI Hall in New York
- City. Final auditions will be judged by a panel that inclues
- Richard Westenburg, another conductor, a singer and an artists'
- representative. Music Sacra will provide an accompanist upon
- request, or you may bring your own. Be prepared to sing three
- Late Baroque arias, plus related recitatives. These need not be
- the same as those submitted on your cassette tape.
