Summer Music Festival now accepting Applications for Tuba Apprentices

The Hot Springs Music Festival is accepting applications for its 2013 tuba apprentice class.  Season Eighteen runs from June 1-15, 2013. All festival apprentices attend on full scholarship plus housing. Tuba apprentices study under the tutelage of R. Todd Cranson, of Henderson State University and the Hot Springs Music Festival.

The Hot Springs Music Festival is a teaching festival for pre-professional musicians.  We pair accomplished apprentice musicians with mentors from major orchestras, chamber ensembles and conservatory faculties. Apprentices have the opportunity to perform “side by side” in orchestral, chamber, solo recital, and choral settings with their mentor. The festival symphony orchestra rehearses and performs under the baton of Maestro Peter Bay of the Austin Symphony Orchestra. Apprentices can also enjoy lessons, master classes, reading sessions, and more. For two weeks, this community turns the historic spa resort of downtown Hot Springs and Hot Springs National Park into a classical music haven, performing over 20 concerts and 250 free, open rehearsals for music lovers from around the globe. Come experience our brand of Casual, Classical, Fun. Come experience the Hot Springs Music Festival!

Tuba application materials must include 2 contrasting solos or contrasting movements of one solo piece and 4 excerpts of your choice. One solo may be replaced by an etude. Apply online by February 1 for priority consideration.  Final application deadline is April 1, 2013. There is a $30 application fee. If accepted, apprentice musicians attend on full scholarship with housing at the new, state-of-the-art dormitory provided.
