Selected applicants will be invited to audition, in-person, in the Chapel of the Holy Spirit at Assumption University. They will present three, solo organ pieces in their entirety (they must be composed specifically for organ; no organ arrangements of instrumental works). Selections must include one complete work of Johann Sebastian Bach and two other contrasting compositions. Applicants must use relevant, printed editions. No online/IMSLP sources.
They will be asked to sight-read a short excerpt (hymn style) in 4-parts (using pedals), and an additional, 8-10 measure exercise.
After the playing portion, a formal interview will be conducted by the faculty and staff of the Department of Art & Music and Campus Ministry.
Organ Scholarship inquiries should be directed to Dr. Jonathan Bezdegian.
