For Joint Principal Study Conducting, candidates will be emailed repertoire to prepare for the audition at least three weeks prior to the audition date. This will most likely be with piano accompaniment. Sight reading may also be given, and there will be aural tests and an interview. All efforts will be made to schedule both Principal Study auditions on the same day.

Successful shortlisted applicants will then be called back to rehearse and performa work (or a section of a work) with an ensemble.
