2021-22 Application for PREVIOUS Class Notes Artists

Class Notes Artists Application DUE MARCH 8, 2021

This application is for returning artists only. You are only eligible to apply if you have previously been a Class Notes Artist with your current line-up.

• Artist applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until March 8, 2021.
• Qualified applicants will be invited to interview with the Class Notes team at Classical MPR.

Class Notes Concerts' goal is to continue to expand the number of students and schools it serves while providing the highest quality musical and teaching experiences.

This application is for artists who have done the Class Notes Concerts program at least once before. All past artists are eligible to apply, but past participation is not a guarantee of future acceptance.

The program will still accept applications for new artists every year, but based on who is accepted out of the new artists that year, we will select past artists depending on our needs.

Returning artists may be asked to interview again at the discretion of Classical MPR.

Criteria:
• Rehearsal visit from Katie Condon prior to first school visit.
• Commitment to a minimum of 5 school visits.
• Ability to travel is not required, but is certainly a plus
