Round 2 – Live In-Person Performance

• Astral requires proof of vaccination for all musicians participating in the live in-person auditions, as well as panelists, and staff.
• Your program may not exceed 20 minutes in duration.
• All applicants who advance to Round 2 will be offered optional access to an accompanist or may bring their own if they so choose.
• Please see Repertoire Guidelines for live audition requirements and recommendations. This is an opportunity to showcase more than just performance skills; it is also a window into getting to know each applicant via their own curated program. Astral Panelists will expect to hear your remarks from the stage as part of your performance.
• The independent jury is comprised of esteemed musicians, agents, and leaders in the classical music field. The 2022 Round 2 panelists will be announced in the spring of 2022.
