(Please attach separately a statement of income and expenses for the most recently completed fiscal year.) Expenses for salaried personnel may be pro-rated for the project, if appropriate.

As part of this application we require that you submit a recording of about 30 minutes duration that contains in its first ten minutes the material you would most like us to hear. The recording may be of a performance, a rehearsal, or a combination of the two and must not contain any material submitted with previous applications to Choral Arts New England. Do not include any extensive non-choral segments. The submission need not include complete pieces or movements of pieces.

We will accept files in common audio formats (such as MP3, WAV, or AIFF) to fulfill the recording requirement. No video recordings or DVDs, please! We prefer that your recording consist of several tracks, each a separate sound file. Below we provide space to submit up to 6 separate files. Click on the "Choose File" button to select the file and write the file description in the adjacent text box (you may cut/paste). The description should give the title, composer (and, where appropriate, the period and country of origin) for each selection to be considered. You need not use all the buttons, and you may include multiple music selections in each file—just include the appropriate description.

I will send the recordings on a CD (must arrive or be postmarked by the deadline!)

Music files can be very large and so can take a long time to upload. You will need a fast Internet connection (dial-up is probably too slow). Files are uploaded when you click the "Save" or "Submit" button. If you have trouble uploading your file, you may send an audio CD or tape to our postal address. Make sure the submission is postmarked before the deadine, is clearly marked with the name of your group, and contains a list of the contents as described here.

Note: in some rare circumstances a recording may not be appropriate (for example, with an application from a non-performing organization where the funding will not directly support a performance). If you have questions about the requirenment for a recording, please contact us prior to the deadline.
