Tuition for the program is $450 for those who register before May 30. A late registration fee of $475 applies to applications received after that date. All applications must be submitted by June 16 and include a non-refundable deposit of $200. The full balance is due by June 28.

Zoom auditions are scheduled for Saturday, June 21, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Individual audition times will be emailed to applicants.

Students must bring their own instrument and equipment, including a bow, shoulder rest, or rock stop.
