Stulberg competition: how to prepare
Stulberg International String Competition screens applicants before any live round. Yes. You apply with an audition video, and a blind screening selects the semifinalists who compete live. The fastest way to get your take to standard is to fix the passage holding it back, on the same five dimensions a panel listens for, before you ever hit submit.
Eligibility, repertoire, and dates change every cycle. Always confirm the current, official rules before you prepare: Stulberg official site
