(Classical orchestra instrumentation: strings, 2 flutes, 2 clarinets, 2 oboes, 2 bassoons,

4. All repertoire must be submitted for pre-approval via this form by April 1st.
5. Once pre-approved, submit your $50 application fee through the Lamont Summer Academy Payment Portal found under the "Forms and Payment" section on the Lamont Summer Academy website.
Then complete the Concerto/Aria Competition Application (separate from this form), which can be found in the same section of the LSA by May 1.
In some rare cases a student may want to apply on more than one instrument. This is allowed but you must submit twice, and pay both application fees.
Award: The winner will be the featured soloist with the LSA Orchestra on the final concert in Gates Concert Hall, University of Denver, Robert and Judi Newman Center for the Performing Arts.
