Judge & Guest PerformerThe search is on for the Bay Area’s best undiscovered classical talent. It starts with your audition video – and might end with a standing ovation, and $2,500 cash, at the live Classical Star Search finals, with guest performer and judge Lang Lang.
We’re looking for non-professional classical instrumentalists or vocalists in two simple categories: ages 10-20; and 21 and over. If you’ve got the chops, prove it with a 4-minute digital video. Three finalists in each group will perform April 28 for the chance to become KDFC’s Classical Stars of 2008.
Send your video now. In April, we’ll choose 10 semi-finalists in each category, for public viewing and voting, and have them perform in a private judging on April 12th or 13th. The six finalists will be chosen from those live auditions.
Read the rules, grab the camera and get going – the deadline is March 28 at midnight!
Just for voting for your favorite Classical Star Search performer, you could win a trip to London on British Airways! From San Francisco you can be among the first to fly into British Airways’ new Terminal 5 at Heathrow, opening on March 27. Terminal 5 will upgrade your airport experience with over 112 retail stores and restaurants, crowd-free concourses and the largest lounge complex in the world.
