The Annual Doreen B. Hertzog
Concerto/Aria Competition

Sponsored by Chemung Canal Trust Company

We are very pleased to invite applications for this year’s competition.

Award and Eligibility

The Doreen B. Hertzog Competition winner will perform one movement of a concerto or aria with the Orchestra of the Southern Finger Lakes in 2009. Students in grades 9 thru 12 are eligible to audition. Eligible instruments are piano, strings, brass, woodwinds, percussion and voice. The application deadline is Friday, May 23, 2008.

Auditions

Contestants will perform (from memory) one movement from a concerto or an aria on May 31, 2008 at the First United Methodist Church of Horseheads. For more information on this, please contact the office: (607) 936-2873. The maximum length of the movement is ten minutes; movements of longer duration must be cut. Auditions will be scheduled in 12-minute time slots, which will be assigned in advance. It is highly recommended, though not required, that each student bring his or her own piano accompanist. There will not be an accompanist provided to you. The auditions are very competitive. Only one student will be selected to perform with the Orchestra of the Southern Finger Lakes and the judges may, at their discretion, decide not to select a winner. The decision of the judges is final.
