Graduate

Cellists must upload a pre-screening video to DecisionDesk containing 10-15 minutes of music from the audition repertoire. The pre-screening video must be uploaded by December 1 for February Auditions and April 15 for May Auditions.

The Graduate audition repertoire in Cello is patterned after a typical undergraduate senior recital. In order to provide some latitude, the requirements are not dictated.  However, you must prepare "sufficient material to perform a full solo recital containing works which show a diversity of periods and styles."
