Application Form Application Deadline: Application and recording must be received by October 16, 2009. All of the following materials must be included: 1. CD recording with all required pieces. 2. $50.00 application fee (which also serves as a registration fee for the Meg Quigley Vivaldi Competition and Symposium) 3. A completed application. 4. Upon submitting these materials I certify that the enclosed CD contains my own, unedited, performance. If selected, as one of the ten semifinalists, I agree to perform in semifinal round of the competition, and the final round of the competition if chosen, both of which will be held at the MQVC Symposium, January 15-17, 2010 in Oberlin, OH. Send materials to: II. Up to ten applicants will be chosen to compete in the semi-final round in a concert format, open to the public, at the 2010 Meg Quigley Vivaldi Competition and Symposium at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Oberlin, Ohio, USA. The symposium and competition will take place January 15-17, 2010. The repertoire for the semi-final round will include portions of the three pieces from the preliminary round. The final round will also take place at the symposium, and will include the same repertoire as well as the additional piece chosen from the repertoire list. The judges may choose to hear only certain portions of the repertoire. A professional accompanist (including one hour of rehearsal) will be provided by the MQVC; however, the semi-finalist may use an accompanist of her own choosing at her own expense. The judges may elect to award fewer prizes than outlined above, or no prizes at all. The judges' decision, announced after deliberations immediately following the final round, is final. Repertoire:

Audience Engagement Component: In the final round, the finalist should be prepared to speak to the audience about the works she is performing. These brief introductions to the works (1-2 minutes each) should demonstrate skill in audience engagement as well as knowledge of the work. This unusual element in the competition is in keeping with changing trends in the music industry, recognizing that the relationship between performer and audience has shifted and speaking skills are becoming more and more necessary. The finalist can use her native language or English, and will state this choice on the application form. Choice of language will not be used for the assessment of the performance.
