UWC of the Adriatic in Italy

FULL SCHOLARSHIP FINANCED BY THE COLLEGE FOR 2006-2008

The United World College of the Adriatic offers five scholarships for musically gifted students to all United World Committees around the world, including those who historically have not sent students to Italy. Eligible applicants are pianists or string players (violin, viola and ‘cello), with a strong background in classical music and performance, and the clear ambition to pursue their musical interests at university/academy/conservatory.

The selection is carried out by the Maestri of the Trio of Trieste on the basis of a detailed c.v., testimonials, and performance illustrated with a VHS video of good quality, recording the performance of:

• one movement of a sonata by Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert or Brahms (for cellists the choice could include Schumann’s works for cello and piano).
• one free choice music piece.
• Total duration: 20 minutes.

The scholarships cover all costs at the College, including the appropriate musical tuition, with the exception of pocket money, travel, project week and vacation expenses.

The conditions applying to these scholarships, and the expectations of those who are eventually awarded them, are set out in the following document which forms part of the application form.
