The tuning pitch of the Verbier Festival Junior Orchestra is A = 442 Hz.
All auditions, whether live or recorded, are unaccompanied, and therefore no piano
should be used.
For video applicants, you MUST read all of the video guidelines in the “VFJO Application
Guidelines” document, available on the Verbier Festival page of the GetAcceptd
website, before starting your application or making your video.
Applicants will not be required to play the full movement of their selected solo works in
the live audition. Please focus on performing the first 3-5 minutes of solo playing from
the movements of your choice; that said, it is important to note that the panel is entitled
to request any portion of the movement.
For video submissions, please refer to the video audition guidelines outlined in the
“VFJO Application Guidelines” document.
