Dear participants,

We have tried to answer to the most frequently asked questions regarding the competition. If you still cannot find information you are looking for, please write us an e-mail: konkurs@bachsolocompetition.pl

How to make a proper recording?

1. The video should cover the whole posture of violinist/violist and be presented from the right side of your profile (to see your bow hand 😊). For cellists it would be better to make it in a frontal way and with a landscape mode.

2. The video should be done with one take – we don’t accept cutting and editing. For repertoire requirements for each section and category.

3. The video should be uploaded onto YouTube platform.

How to share my video with jury?

1. A link to your performance (placed successfully on youtube) should be attached to application form. It can be found on www.bachSOLOcompetition.pl

Do I need to play by heart?

1. During your live performance in Poznań (2nd stage of the competition) you need to play by heart. When it comes to the recording, we accept you having music scores in front of you😊

Do I need to play all repetitions?

1. We kindly ask you not to play your piece with any repetitions. Our request concerns first stage video recording, as well as live auditions of second stage taking place in Poznań.

Will I get possibility to practise?

1. During second stage of the competition, the participants will be provided with practise rooms at least 60 minutes before their audition slot. In addition, there will be some more available rooms for competitiors, but their amount is limited.

Will I get free accommodation?

1. Unfortunately no. Organisers will not provide you with the accomodation, although we can give you one tip: the closest hotel is HOTEL ŚRÓDKA.
