Admission Updates
We are no longer accepting applications for the Credo program at Oberlin.
We are accepting applications for the Credo Prelude Program at Gordon College until April 30th.
Please click HERE to apply.

Admission to the Program

Admission to Credo is made by “rolling admission,” with earlier applications having a greater likelihood of finding compatible chamber music partners and therefore being accepted into the program.

$100 deposit will be due within two weeks of notification of acceptance to Credo. An additional $300 deposit will be due by April 1.

Returning Credo students:
Returning Credo alumni can secure a spot for summer 2010 by sending in an application and $100 deposit by Feb 1. An audition for ensemble placement will still be required, but the application fee will be waived. For applications received after February 1, normal application and audition procedures apply.

February 1 – First admissions decisions made
February 20 – Additional admissions decisions made
March 13 - Complete file due for financial aid applicants

Auditions

All students must audition for admission and placement. Applicants will be required to play two contrasting styles (melodic and technical) – either contracting movements from the same piece or two separate pieces. Live auditions are preferred. Video-recorded auditions (DVD or VHS format) will be accepted for students who live more than 100 miles from audition sites.
