The piece from Phase 1 is now confirmed through a video. Additionally, two more musical pieces must be submitted via video. A short motivation letter should also be submitted, which briefly addresses, among other things, the financial situation. This should also include a personal story, such as the musical journey, previous achievements, or particular challenges.How can I apply?
