ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING 2020-2021 AUDITIONS
Traditionally, Capital University Conservatory of Music welcomes both future students and their families to the campus for an all-day audition experience. While we are unable to welcome you to campus for an in-person audition this fall and spring semester, we are still going to hold auditions for Fall 2021 arrival. Your audition will be part recorded and part live remote. When you click on your instrument below, you will see extra instructions for this year’s auditions.
After you are academically admitted to Capital, you may select a date to submit the audition recording, followed by a live, virtual one-on-one with the applied instrumental or vocal faculty. Additionally, a virtual campus tour given by students, a Q & A with the Dean, and a Q&A student panel are planned. The dates of both the audition days and extra events through the audition season are listed below. We hope you join us remotely so we can answer your questions and engage you in conversation about what it is like to be part of #CapFam. For additional questions, please contact Summer Slusher, Coordinator of Conservatory Recruitment at sslusher@capital.edu or 614-236-6190.
