Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply as soon as possible before the relevant deadline.
Auditions are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Applying by the deadline does not guarantee an audition. Many cities have high demand and fill to capacity before the application deadline.

AUDITION FORMAT:
In most cases (with the exception of the vocal program), live auditions are conducted by a single member of the audition committee and/or TMC staff, and video recorded for review by the full audition committee in Boston. Most auditions are 10 minutes long.

AUDITION RESULTS:
Audition results are generally sent to applicants by e-mail, with the exception of those who have been accepted, who will receive notification by phone. Results are generally sent: within two weeks of the last live audition date for the instrumental and vocal fellowship programs; and within four to six weeks of the application deadline for the conducting, composition, audio engineering, and orchestra library fellowships. Invited applicants are typically given two weeks to accept or decline the invitation to be a TMC fellow, and must complete all required paperwork and pay required fees in full in order to accept the invitation.
