Family and friends are encouraged to enjoy the performances and can be invited to follow a YouTube link. 
 
We understand the importance of experience and the excitement of a live concert, but also believe virtual performances provide a great opportunity to adapt during changing times.
 
Those who participate in the online recitals will have an opportunity to perform as a guest at the Crescendo Competitions Recitals at Carnegie Hall, until the end of the year 2023.
 
We are encouraging the students to learn a new composition for the Second Round of the competition.
 
Participants can perform the same composition in both rounds if they wish. We recommend making a new recording for a recital.
However, if it's too complicated or impossible, you may use the same video you submitted for the auditions. 
 
The videos should be uploaded to our DropBox folder one week prior to the recital date: https://www.dropbox.com/request/nO40ulPQEAuE8T2Dd2f9 
 
Please rename the video file with the performer's name, the composition name and the composer's name.
 
Applications with missing videos will be considered withdrawn. Video links will not be accepted for the second round. 
 
The video needs to be recorded in horizontal format with no background noise:
1) You do not need to introduce yourself or your repertoire, we will post your repertoire, name, age, and location into the video. 
2) Please bow after you finish playing. 
3) If you make the video with a phone or tablet, please make sure the aspect ratio is horizontal and not vertical.
4) All contestants must wear formal attire for recordings.
