C-Roc Application & Audition


Audition Requirements

Chamber Music of the Rockies is open to advanced instrumental students. Minimum playing and reading levels are established for each instrument. Note that a certain level of maturity is necessary for students to cope with the audition process and the more public nature of the instruction in the Chamber Music of the Rockies program.

While there are no age limits, high school students may adapt more easily to this intense experience than younger students. Other rewarding options are available in the Suzuki Institute for advanced level students who choose not to participate in the Chamber Music of the Rockies program, or who do not secure a place because of limited space.


Minimum performance levels

  • Violin: Mozart Concerto no. 4 in D Major
  • Viola: J.C. Bach/Casadesus Concerto in c minor
  • Cello: Saint Saëns Allegro Appassionato

Pieces of equivalent level may be submitted in place of those listed above.


Video Audition

  • Include two contrasting movements or pieces at the level listed above.
  • Prepare a video audition representing your level of proficiency in solo repertoire.
