Problems with your application?

We discovered that some elements of the application through MUVAC were not clear or didn’t work properly.

  • We don’t need an “Anschreiben” or “Cover Letter”. that question has been removed.
  • There was only place for a maximum of 250 characters for the short biography (instead of 250 words). we changed that as well.
  • We changed the way to list your free repertoire and your programs for 1st and 2nd round.
  • If you have more questions, don’t hesitate to mail us!

Since Saturday 22 June you can apply!

The registration goed through the website of our partner MUVAC, it’s friendly and easy, but you need to make an account with “experience: mixed ensemble – duo“. Don’t hesitate if you have questions about your application.

You can apply until September 22 September, 23:59! But you can go for the early bird bonus if you apply before 23 July, see our timeline.

You can reach us on info@liedconcours.nl , and we’ll answer your question as soon as possible.
