COMPETITION
The UK Viola Day would like to invite viola students at all levels to participate in the Viola Day Virtual Competition. When registering, please identify your group division using the chart below (playing level compatible with the Suzuki system).
Upload a video to any online platform and submit the link to Dr. Wu at [email protected]. The recording needs to be in single take with no editing, and the camera should include both left hand and bow arm. Memorization is not required, and the recording is due January 14.
For the repertoire, select a single piece or a movement from a larger work. Because the venue can only provide an electronic keyboard, a work for unaccompanied viola is recommended but not required.
Adjudicators: Rose Wollman and Andrew Braddock
The winner of each group division and selected students will perform in the Final Recital and may be asked to perform for the masterclass. The competition result will be announced the day before the event.
